STUDENT SATISFACTION (Times Good University Guide 2023) IN THE UK 1 ST
ENGINEERING: MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING BAY CAMPUS
Material science explores how the structure of a material at the micro, or even atomic scale can influence the final properties of a product or component and how materials respond to external influences such as mechanical loading or environment. Materials scientists are working on the next generation of solar energy, better batteries and zero emissions air craft. Many of the grand challenges we face as a species will require materials engineers to solve them.

You will get the opportunity to meet representatives from more than 40 companies, including Rolls-Royce, Tata Steel, BASF, NSG Airbus, Timet and GE, who support us through guest lectures and funded placements. These partners provide placements, research funding, access to facilities and advice and guidance to our students. As you progress, your developing analytical abilities will combine with hands-on experience of advanced equipment, establishing skills which are vital to securing employment in the wider industry. Our state-of-the-art facilities include world-leading equipment for the characterisation of mechanical properties of metallic, ceramic, polymeric and composite materials. We also have an extensive range of laboratories, housing scanning electron microscopes with full microanalysis and electron backscatter diffraction capabilities. Visits to Tata Steel, Timet, Ensinger and Airbus will give you valuable insights into the industrial world.
