About this degree
This programme aims to equip students with advanced, comprehensive knowledge of materials science and related state-of-the-art technologies, an understanding of the structure, properties and real-world, innovative applications of advanced materials and devices, scientific research skills, and the insight and capability to be an entrepreneur in the field. In addition, students will engage in a literature project and a six-month research project.
Who this course is for
This programme is designed for those with a background in physics, chemistry, polymers, nanomaterials, materials science or engineering, and prepares students for a career discovering and exploiting these advanced materials for real-world application and enterprise that will shape the future of our world.
What this course will give you
Advanced Materials Science (Materials Innovation and Enterprise) MSc relates scientific theories to research and applications of advanced materials, encourages innovation and creative thinking, and contextualises scientific innovation within the global market and entrepreneurship.
This programme aims to deliver innovative teaching; from group design projects, that provide a unique opportunity for students to design the next generation of advanced materials, to the module on Advanced Materials for Real-world Applications which provides a detailed overview of the various categories of functional materials and emerging advanced devices for real-world applications in high-tech sectors, as well as the module on Entrepreneurship Theory & Practice, where students learn how to apply research in the commercial world.
Students on this interdisciplinary programme benefit from UCL's emphasis on enterprise- and research-led teaching informed by current research input from departments across UCL.
In addition to the specific skills and knowledge students acquire by taking this programme, they also develop managerial and entrepreneurship skills, and transferable skills in areas including literature survey, design of experiments, materials research, critical data analysis, teamwork and effective communication skills using real-life case scenarios and student-led group projects.
You will be based at our UCL East campus in the heart of East London, with easy access to all the cultural, entertainment and academic resources across the capital.
