About this programme

Materials science and engineering (MSE) is an interdisciplinary field where the scientific fundamentals of materials, their structure and properties, and their design and processing for real world applications are explored. Developing new equipment for materials development, and exploring new uses for existing and new materials are also essential tasks of MSE, particularly to meet the needs of modern technology. Examples of materials science research and applications development occurring in the MSE department include developing biomaterials for tissue engineering; composites and metals for aerospace; ceramics for energy applications; computational techniques for materials development; eco-materials for green technologies; genetically engineered molecules and semiconductors for electronics; magnetic materials for information storage/processing, biomedicine and energy conversion; and polymers for telecommunications and solar energy.
