MSc Nanomaterials and Materials Science

The Nanomaterials and Materials Science MSc course at the University of Sheffield is a one-year full-time postgraduate program that provides students with advanced understanding of material designs and their properties. This course offers deeper insights into topics ranging from the atomic scale to practical applications, focusing on modern computational techniques and laboratory-based techniques. Course Content: This course aims to give students an insight into the properties of materials from the atomic scale to practical applications, focusing on state-of-the-art computational and laboratory techniques. Students explore how atomic arrangements and the synthesis process allow the customisation of materials properties, followed by a six-month individual research project under the magisterial supervision of a professional-level academic researcher.Key Modules: The course incorporates several modules such as Materials for the Low Carbon Economy, Ferrous Metallurgy, Design and Manufacture of Composites, and Materials Modelling.Accreditations: This course is accredited by the Institution of Materials, Minerals, and Mining (IOM³).Future Careers: After successfully completing this course, students can pursue career opportunities in sectors such as materials function in high value manufacturing and the circular economy, including metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page here.
