Course overview
Build your understanding of materials science and specialise in biomaterials and tissue engineering on this professionally accredited Master’s degree.
Technological advances in materials science and engineering (MSE) are transforming our lives in a range of areas, from targeted drug delivery and disease detection, to tissue engineered scaffolds.
During your studies, you'll analyse how materials innovations solve real problems in fields such as healthcare and medical devices.
You’ll also assess how technological advances are creating new opportunities in biomedical engineering, 3D printing, robotics and quantum computing.
This course will see you engage in the scientific and engineering aspects of the discipline, and learn about the processing, structure, and performance of materials.
As it progresses, you'll design your own experiments to test a hypothesis and investigate materials using characterisation techniques such as electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction.
The third year will see you start to specialise in biomaterials. This includes the flexibility to choose modules that fit with your career interests.
Your fourth year sees your studies reach Master's level, where you’ll advance your understanding of tissue engineering and apply your skills to an extensive research project.
