MSc Advanced Materials Science (Data-driven Innovation)

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc 1 year full-time

Course Description

The digital revolution in data science, machine learning and artificial intelligence have all sparked demand for the next generation materials data scientists, able to utilise these emerging technologies for enhanced materials design and discovery. On this programme you will explore in depth how the establishment of  Processing-Structure-Properties-Performance (PSPP) relationships can be significantly enhanced using data driven approaches.

This programme will equip you with advanced, comprehensive knowledge and expertise in data-driven materials science.

You will learn about the computational materials modelling and machine learning methodologies needed to solve problems in materials science, particularly in the fields of regression and classification, feature extraction, and data clustering.

The programme focuses specifically on the methodologies and technologies required to better understand of Process-Structures-Properties-Performance (PSPP) relationships in advanced materials for energy, health and environmental applications of materials.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of a second-class Bachelor’s degree from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.
