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 with optional materials modules. On the MEng degree you can choose to interact directly with industry via an industrial placement and industrial focussed projects or undertake an extended research project embedded in one of our leading research groups.


Discover the principles and application of materials science and engineering, research and industrial practice.

The Materials Science and Engineering MEng at Sheffield is distinguished by its balance between research and industrial experience, with many opportunities to explore both career paths.For the first two years of your degree 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. From courses on properties to sustainability, and the choice to specialise in later years in the areas of your choice, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to respond to the most challenging problems of the 21st century.Communication and management skills – including presenting, writing and project organisation – are also vitally integrated within your degree and you'll gain valuable experiences through individual and group project work.Through our industrial training programmes you'll engage with external partners, with professional practice and research principles at the core of problem solving, you'll learn how to work in teams to reach effective solutions, showcasing your expertise.You'll also complete an independent research project of your choice. This is an opportunity to showcase your technical lab skills and consolidate your learning by driving our field in new directions.
