Course summary

In our core undergraduate degree, you'll discover the underlying principles of materials science, and how these are applied across materials engineering situations. You can keep your course general or tailor your degree in later years with optional materials modules.


Discover the principles of materials science and engineering, and how these are applied across the whole field of engineering.

For the first two years of your Materials Science and Engineering BEng at Sheffield, you'll focus on developing your fundamental understanding of the field in both theory and in the hands-on practical way expected of materials engineers.Group projects will see you take on complex real-world problems 鈥� applying your engineering knowledge while developing the transferable skills like communication, team working and project management sought after by employers.From courses on materials properties to materials sustainability, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to meet the challenges of the 21st century 鈥� and to provide real and lasting solutions.In your final year you'll have the opportunity to choose the specialist modules that interest you, from metallurgy to functional materials, composites, biomaterials, nuclear materials and everything in between. Other core modules will also give you detailed industrial knowledge like computational modelling techniques, quality management and understanding financial and legal risks.As part of the course, you鈥檒l also complete an independent research project. This is a perfect opportunity to showcase your technical lab skills and consolidate your learning by driving the field in new directions.
