The Materials Science Research Centre MPhil/PhD programme focuses on the invention and the experience of materials to address real world challenges, such as environmental sustainability, and human health and wellbeing.

Our research areas include:

regenerative and circular materials
programmable biomaterials
materials systems, such as bio-mimetic approaches to develop and manufacture materials and structures
digital materials for new typologies of tangible interfaces
the human experience of materials to gain a deep understanding of perceptual experience (analogue and digital)

Our approach to these areas includes the design and manufacture of materials for different applications at different scales – in the body, on the body, interaction with the body, the body in (a space).

We encourage students to pioneer interdisciplinary research that spans materials science, chemistry and engineering, biology, bioscience, materials design, computer science, human-computer interaction, human-centred design, phenomenology, neuroscience, experimental psychology, and psychophysics.

The concepts of sustainability and creativity underpin research at every level – from the material, through manufacturing, to the use phase.

Entry requirements

The programme welcomes applications from candidates from across the world and of all ages, including those with academic and professional backgrounds. Applications are considered in terms of quality of proposal, quality of practice (where appropriate), readiness to undertake a research degree at this level and supervisory capacity.
