Polymer Science (MSc)

Course overview

The MSc in Polymer Science is designed not only to introduce you to polymer synthesis and characterisation, but also to demonstrate that macro-scale properties span into the nano- and meso- scale.

On this MSc course, you will have the flexibility to choose from elective modules including business-related modules from across the Faculty of Science, Engineering and Medicine (subject to availability). These modules will improve your business knowledge whilst you are becoming an expert in polymer science. The course is ideal if you are looking for a career, not only in a manufacturing company working in the area of plastics, advanced functional materials, nano-materials, but also PhD-level study in this growing and exciting area of science.
