Higher degrees in polymer science
MSc Polymers for Advanced Technologies
A modular course comprising taught material and a research project, on which a dissertation must be prepared. The degree has four streams: chemistry, physics, engineering and composite engineering. All four streams are based on the following core modules:
- The science and engineering of polymer fibre composites
- Electronic materials
- Designer polymer synthesis
- Biomedical applications of polymers
- Smart polymers
Polymers for Advanced Technologies
Masters courses in nanotechnology
The Universities of Leeds and Sheffield have combined their expertise to create four leading MSc courses in the field:
- Nanoscale science and technology
- Nanoelectronics and nanomechanics
- Nanomaterials for nanoengineering
- Bionanotechnology
The courses provide a broad, interdisciplinary learning experience enabling single-discipline graduates to contribute effectively to the research, development and commercial exploitation of nanotechnology.

MSc(Eng) Aerospace Materials
This degree has been developed to provide the broader base needed to the use and understand the new materials now being used in the Aerospace Industry.
The degree covers a number of polymer related topics, in addition to traditional materials used in aerospace construction. Study includes advanced characterisation techniques, aerospace composites, science and engineering of light metals and alloys, nano-structure and intermetallics, high temperature applications, advanced manufacturing techniques, fracture, wear and structural integrity.
