Postgraduate Prospectus

The MSc Advanced Materials Manufacture is for science and engineering graduates interested in product design and, in particular, understanding the effect manufacturing processes have upon material performance. The optimisation of a manufacturing process requires a comprehensive understanding of the interrelationship between material properties and the manufacturing process.

The course aims to develop a broad and deep understanding of this complex interrelationship so that students have the expertise to tailor product manufacture in order to optimise product design, and manufacturing productivity/profitability. It will provide training and skills for a number of career opportunities in the materials manufacturing industry and related sectors.

Only by understanding the parameters which control the behaviour of materials can the manufacturing process be tailored to give optimised properties, productivity and economic robustness.

The course will provide you with specific skills suitable for a wide range of careers in UK and international organisations involved in materials and product development.

It also provides a firm foundation for a research path in both Manufacturing Technology and Materials Engineering.
