MEng Metallurgy

Comments about MEng Metallurgy - At the institution - Sheffield - South Yorkshire

• Objectives
  Our Metallurgy course is all about giving you the ability to tackle situations that metallurgists and engineers encounter on an everyday basis. You will learn how to tailor the properties of metals and other materials to meet design requirements, using an understanding of their structure, composition and processing. We provide you with a solid basis in the underlying science and we use a hands-on approach and exposure to real situations to give you a good understanding of practical applications. Case studies, design projects, group industrial projects, laboratory work, manufacturing plant visits, tutorial and the five-month paid placement in a metals-using or producing industry are all designed to aid your development as a metallurgist and engineer. Our high level of research funding provides excellent resources that are used by undergraduate students as well as postgraduate students and staff. Financial assistance: The Department offers first-year Entrance Bursaries to students on this course with high entry qualifications.
