Designed and delivered by UCL Mechanical Engineering, this one-year MSc course will get you industry-ready for a career as a manufacturing, materials and design engineer.
You’ll put your learning into practice on every module of this course, translating your theoretical studies into concrete practical experience through lab work, design activities or specially designed industry-relevant manufacturing challenges.
Working in the world-class engineering facilities at our purpose-built UCL East Campus on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, you’ll learn how to achieve results in environments designed to replicate industrial settings. You’ll collaborate regularly with external industry partners, some of whom may also supervise your group project.
This course’s emphasis on practical skill-building will provide you with valuable evidence of your technical prowess and ability to design, characterise, test and apply nano-engineered materials and manufacturing techniques.
Your specialism will also qualify you to work in any industry that uses, designs or manufactures materials. This robust technical background will be supplemented with extensive training in practical problem solving and real-world application, along with an understanding of commercialisation, sustainability and how processes can be scaled to meet changing demands.
Your combination of in-demand technical and commercial skills will be sought by a range of future employers as nanotechnology becomes an ever-greater part of our daily lives.
Nano-engineering skills are particularly prized in the automotive, aerospace and additive manufacturing 3D printing industries, where you can take on roles such as design engineer, structural analyst or innovation consultant.
The skills you will learn on this Master’s will be immensely valuable in any industry that uses, designs, or manufactures materials.
Recent graduates from this MSc have gone on to work for organisations such as Rolls Royce, Xiaomi, AECOM, and Sinopec. Others have successfully launched their own enterprises or continued with further higher education PhD. (Departmental data.)
