Materials Science and Engineering with Industrial Experience (Hons) Queen Mary University of London

Overview

You’ll build a strong foundation in fundamental engineering concepts such as mechanics, design, materials and mathematical modelling. At the same time, you’ll develop the practical skills all engineers need.

Everything you learn at  Materials Science and Engineering with Industrial Experience (Hons) programme offered at Queen Mary University of London  will be applied to a design project which addresses one of the key challenges identified by the UK Government – such as an aging society, clean growth and the future of mobility.

Year in industry

Apply for our Materials Science BEng or MEng with Industrial Experience to spend a year on placement, gaining practical experience and building professional contacts.

The industrial experience year can be taken in Year 3 or 4 of a BEng programme or Year 3, 4 or 5 of an MEng programme.

Professional recognition

Our Materials Science and Engineering programmes have been accredited by the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3) under license from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.

Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).  

Careers

The materials industry is one of the world’s biggest industrial sectors, and is growing every year.

Graduates can work directly with materials, for example as a Materials Engineer, identifying the best materials for use at all stages of the manufacturing process. Other potential careers include working as a Metallurgist, Research Scientist, Technical Engineer, Biomedical Engineer, Manufacturing Systems Engineer or Patent Examiner.
