The MSc Advanced Materials Engineering programme cultivates a theoretical and practical understanding of the fundamental aspects of material engineering within its graduates by exploring various aspects of the discipline such as:

materials science
industrial metallurgy
composites
advanced materials
Our students benefit from the strategic partnership we hold with the National Manufacturing Institute of Scotland and the Advanced Forming Research Centre. This relationship offers students prolonged exposure to leading research across materials engineering through sponsored research projects, site visits, guest lectures and other employability-led initiatives.

During their programme, students will study a number of compulsory and technical modules, as well as develop professional skills across topics such as design management, sustainability and financial engineering.

Students will also complete an individual research project which may be industry-themed or aligned to engineering research at Strathclyde.
You'll take 180 credits made up of 120 credits of taught modules and the 60-credit individual project.
Careers
The application of material engineering can be found across a range of sectors and industries and therefore, material engineer graduates have a broad range of career paths open to them.
