Training aim

The aim of the programme is to provide learners with the expertise, tools and techniques essential to material characterisation, simulated design, failure analysis, and applied materials selection.

Learning objectives

This programme will:

  • emphasise graduate preparation for the traditional, transitional, and high-tech manufacturing jobs of the future, underscored by strong commitment to industry

  • form the nexus between knowledge and application in the dynamic field of materials selection and sustainability, taught in a cohesive, and self-contained waybased on varied and stimulating experiences

  • equip graduates with the professional and technical tools to make a difference in both industry and research.

Course outline

This is a Level 9 Masters of Engineering in Applied Materials with a major exit award of Postgraduate Diploma in Engineering in Applied Materials.

The aim of this unique programme is to develop graduates with advanced expertise in the understanding, adaptation, and application of materials in design, processing, innovation, and sustainability. Course content is underpinned by applied technical challenges and a work-based project. Participants will enhance their digital skills by merging interactive learning with hands-on experimentation to engage with course content and deliver on course objectives and tasks. This novel scholarship will augment the learner's technical acumen with professional skills development in areas such as leadership, strategic thinking, relationship building, communication, presentation skills, and performance integrity. Learners will also develop a firm understanding of the changes in environmental and innovative culture, preparing them for the workplace of the future.
