The development of new and improved materials is at the heart of a huge range of technologies. These can be from the objects we use every day such as food packaging, novel batteries and fuel cells, power electric vehicles and more advanced materials for biomedical applications, such as implants.

Our Materials Science and Engineering degree will give you the opportunity to deepen your knowledge and understanding of the scientific, engineering and design aspects of materials, their structure, properties, processing, in-service behaviour and environmental impact.

At Loughborough, our course will take you from the fundamental science and engineering of materials to the cutting-edge of the subject. In year three, you will complete a research project on a specific topic of interest supervised by a member of the academic staff and potentially in collaboration with an industrial partner. Sustainability is embedded within our programmes as materials plays a key role in achieving targets such as Net Zero and UN Sustainable Development Goals.

Our degree will prepare you for careers in a wide range of sectors, including: aerospace, automotive, biomedical, energy and sustainability, consumer goods, sports, and defence. Our graduates go on to work in large and small companies in the UK and internationally. Some remain in the higher education sector to continue their research into Materials Engineering.
