Future Manufacturing and Nanoscale Engineering MSc

This programme will train you on the design, characterisation, testing, and applications of nanoengineered materials, and their manufacturing techniques, enabling you to be leaders in this growing field. It will provide you with demonstrable, hands-on experience in all the above fields.

Nano-engineered materials in the context of this programme refer to solid-state materials that are engineered in the nano and micro scale to have unique mechanical, optical, or thermal properties. Some examples are:

1. Coatings for colour, wettability and anti-fogging and anti-freeze properties.
2. Composites for corrosion and wear protection.
3. Microlattices with unique properties e.g. negative Poisson’s ratio, high stiffness/strength at lightweight.
4. Alloys with controlled nanocrystalline architecture for mechanical and corrosion protection.

This programme will:

• Equip you with next generation knowledge, technical and numerical toolsets to design materials at the micro and nanoscale.
• Equip you with mastery knowledge in nanoscale manufacturing technologies for such materials, both of the bottom-up (e.g additive manufacturing) and top-down (e.g. precision manufacturing) type, enabling you to work inventively and inclusively with the future needs of the manufacturing sector.
• Provide ample opportunities to get hands-on, industry-relevant experience with the manufacturing, characterisation, metrology, and testing of materials and structures.
• Enable you to apply a sophisticated knowledge base in manufacturing technologies to real-world problems through experiential and inspirational learning approaches.
