Congrats on Cambridge! :smile:

If I meet my offer I'm going to Sheffield, I absolutely love the uni and the fact that I can get a degree in Materials Science and Engineering with a Modern Language!

What's your insurance? Mine will probably be Loughborough!

Thanks! Congrats to you too!
Sheffield is awesome, I applied there and absolutely love it too! :biggrin: which modern language do you want to study?

My insurance is UCL (for biomedical engineering though, I wanted to put Imperial for biomaterials but UCL's financial support won me over) :smile:

Probably French! :smile:

UCL is amazing, I wish they offered Materials Science!

Doesn't Imperial have a financial support scheme too?

To all my fellow materials engineers... THE COMPLETE UNIVERSITY GUIDE 2016 LEAGUE ARE OUT!!

Here is the ranking for Materials Technology!

1-Cambridge
2-Imperial
3-Surrey
4-Oxford
5-Swansea
6-Nottingham
7-Loughborough
8-Exeter
9-Sheffield
10-Birmingham
11-Liverpool
12-Queen Mary
13-Manchester Met
14-Manchester
15-Plymouth
16-Leeds
17-Sheffield Hallam
18-Trinity St David
19-UCLan
20-Derby
21-Bournemouth
22-Huddersfield
23-Bolton

Swansea in the top 5! They really stepped up their game with the new Bay Campus and Centre for Functional Materials! Plus 100 in graduate prospects!

On the other hand Leeds and Manchester need to get their act together, they are ranked even lower than an ex-poly!

Plymouth, UCLan, Bournemouth and Trinity St David are new additions to the list!

What would you recommend between MSc Materials Science & Engineering (Uni of Leeds) and MSc Advanced Materials (Uni of Surrey)?
Is anyone going to Manchester?

How old are you? :h:

So far I just found 4 other people at Loughborough... Kinda depressing considering that the number of people doing other engineering courses is double digit haha

I'm 18, there seems to be very few people doing materials in comparison to the other engineering disciplines 😪

You aren't going to be the youngest, I am sure! As a matter of fact I am 18 as well! :smile:

Materials is engineering's best kept secret :wink:
