Materials Science and Engineering

7

Hi Guys,
I am a resit student currently resitting Maths, Physics and Geography and want to study Materials Science and Engineering in the future. My predicted is A*AA and I am planning on applying to Imperial, Sheffield, Loughborough and then UCL (Science and Engineering for Social Change). I don’t have any other ideas as the other unis that offer materials science (Manchester, Glasgow and Swansea) don’t appeal to me. Does anyone have an idea for a 5th choice that is still a good uni and a similar degree?

hey, im a resit student asw and im also applying for mat sci at imperial! idk what unis are appealing to you but i got an offer from notts for aerospace last year even tho my personal statement was all around mat sci. im considering applying to mech eng besides mat sci this year becuz same as you, no other uni seems appealing

Oxford perhaps (although resits plus lack of FM may be a bit of a barrier there). Leeds has I believe a reputable materials programme (they also used to have some nuclear materials stuff through it although I don't know if that's still the case). QMUL have a well established programme and with a lot of biomaterials stuff as I recall if that's of interest.

Southampton doesn't offer materials science directly, but in their mechanical engineering course you cover core materials engineering topics and they have a number of options in materials areas. Granted there's probably a bit less "basic science" of materials and more focus on engineering, manufacturing and applications. Warwick I think has some strengths in materials from a manufacturing perspective albeit have a general engineering degree in a sort of similar vein.

i applied for aerospace last year too and i got an offer from notts! although last year i applied four aerospace and one mech and realised both aren’t for me. my other option would be design engineering but i feel like i would have to mention it a lot in my personal statement an mat sci is my main option. what subjects are you resitting?

oh i see. yh i think design engineering is rlly diff compared to mat sci. i am also applying for warwick engineering business management cuz i rlly enjoyed econ during a levels and its a good option as u get exposure to their engineering and business department. im resitting maths and physics.
