About this degree
This Master’s will equip you with a solid foundation in materials sciences and related technologies, so you can confidently play your part in developing new materials that are good for industry and better for the planet.
We will explore the structure, properties and applications of the main groups of materials, delivered through seven core disciplines.
Research is interwoven through almost every aspect of the course, and you will build your own scientific research skills, working on a route-specific literature project and six-month research project.
Studying at UCL, alongside globally-renowned academics, means you’ll have the chance to participate in projects that can have a global impact on society today.
You will be based at our campus in the heart of East London, with easy access to all the cultural, entertainment and academic resources across the capital.
By the end of your time with us, you will be set up with the skills needed to design new, more advanced materials – materials that will play an important role in helping organisations to reduce their environmental impact, while also enhancing the durability of their goods.
Who this course is for
This programme is for students with a background in materials sciences, physics, chemistry, polymers, engineering or biotechnology. You will have a strong basis for a career discovering and designing materials that can be used for sustainable developments which will shape the future of our world.
What this course will give you
A solid ground in the scientific theories underpinning the research and applications of advanced materials.
A course that encourages innovation and creative thinking, and contextualises scientific innovation within the global market and entrepreneurship.
A mix of innovative teaching methods including the chance to work on group design projects, where you’ll be challenged to design the next advanced materials.
A choice of route-specific modules (like ‘Advanced Materials for Sustainable Energy Technologies’, and ‘Advanced Topics in Materials Sciences for Sustainable Developments’) where you’ll learn important concepts for achieving a sustainable future, and unpick the issues that led us to this point in time.
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.
