Course Description
This diverse programme spans the subject from its foundations in physics and chemistry to the mechanical, electrical, magnetic and optical properties of materials, and the design, manufacture and applications of metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers, composites and biomaterials
The objectives of the Department of Materials at Oxford University are to produce world-class graduate materials scientists and engineers and to conduct world-class research into the manufacture, structure, properties and applications of materials
Students will learn how to break down a complex problem, design an experiment or model, manage a project and communicate their results
The Oxford Materials degree includes in its fourth year the special feature of an eight-month full-time research project, when student join a research team at Oxford in one of the strongest Departments of Materials in the UK or, occasionally, at an overseas university or in an industrial laboratory
