Subject area
Materials Science and Engineering
Grouped here when the official title names materials, metallurgy, polymers or nanomaterials.
Materials science studies the structure, properties, processing and performance of metals, polymers, ceramics, composites and semiconductors. It sits between physics, chemistry and engineering, and programmes lean towards whichever of those the host department belongs to.
The programmes below were read from institutions’ own catalogues and grouped here by U4S. That grouping is an editorial judgement about the published title, not a statement from any institution, and two programmes sitting on this page are not thereby equivalent — content, entry requirements and the qualification awarded can differ substantially between them and between countries.

The catalogues these were read from list programmes without declaring a level, and U4S does not infer one from a programme’s name.
