Overview

Metallurgy and Materials Science at the University of Birmingham is a major research centre with world class facilities. The research is at the leading edge of Materials Science and Engineering, and the University of Birmingham works closely with a range of industrial partners to ensure that the potential of their discoveries are maximised. New materials underpin development and progress across a wide variety of sectors. New technologies, from planes to batteries, from hip implants to electronic devices, are made possible, and often limited by, the materials currently known and used. Materials Scientists and Engineers work hard to understand how and why materials behave the way they do, and exploit this knowledge to develop new materials with amazing properties. This programme comprises a major research project and six taught modules, four compulsory and two optional. This one-year Course (full-time) comprises a major research project (two-thirds of the year) and six taught modules (one-third of the year), which are taken intermittently throughout the year. Students with an appropriate technical background (a Materials Science first degree) can start the course at any time. Students without a background in Materials Science are required to take the Introduction to Materials module, and must start the MRes Course at the beginning of the academic year, in September. Please be advised that this programme requires a supervisor.
