Metallurgy M.Eng

Course description
Drawing on the great history of metallurgy in Sheffield, this course focuses on the nature, properties and processing of metals. We'll give you a solid grounding in the science of materials and show you how to apply your knowledge to problems in the real world.

In the first year, you'll take the Global Engineering Challenge. Working with students from other engineering courses, you'll have to find creative solutions to problems. The project looks at challenges faced by communities throughout the world. It's designed to develop you as a professional engineer and get you thinking about sustainable solutions.

In the third year, you'll complete a five-month industry placement in the engineering sector. This is followed by a group industrial project in your final year.

In the third and fourth year of the MEng degrees, you'll take part in four Industrial Training Programmes, focusing on the areas of nuclear, glass, aerospace and advanced manufacturing. For each, there are small group seminars with industry experts and engineers, academic lectures and visits to industry sites and technology centres. You'll apply your materials science and engineering knowledge to analyse and solve a real current industrial problem.
