The Digital Manufacturing of Advanced Materials MSc will equip you with interdisciplinary skills highly sought after by industry and academia. You will gain the abilities needed to develop and produce advanced materials such as new drug molecules and pharmaceuticals, materials for energy generation and storage, catalysts facilitating sustainable processes, functional nanomaterials for precious metal recovery or biomedical applications, and more.
About this degree
The fourth industrial revolution, Industry 4.0, is transforming chemical and process research laboratories as well as manufacturing sites, where smart technologies and digitisation are radically changing the way new chemicals and materials are developed and produced. Automated processes and robotic systems allow for operator-free experimentation and material development and optimisation empowered by computational tools such as machine learning. In this new paradigm-shifting scenario, R&D must go far beyond the traditional, and labour-intensive, manual experimentation and analysis. The new industrial demands require the materials engineers of the future to take a holistic digital approach, combining up-to-date synthetic and analytic procedures, automation, data science, and a variety of computational tools. The MSc in Digital Manufacturing of Advanced Materials (DMAM) was co-developed with our industrial partners to meet these requirements and to equip the next generation of engineers and scientists with the interdisciplinary skills needed.
Experiential learning is at the heart of the DMAM MSc programme, and you will learn through case studies and open-ended research questions developed with industry. Learning by doing will be an essential part in all experimental and computational module tasks, including materials synthesis and characterisation, automation and data acquisition, and analysis and system optimisation; for example, using digital twins and machine learning in practical lab set-ups.
A minimum of an upper second-class Bachelor’s degree in a relevant discipline from a UK university or an overseas qualification of an equivalent standard.

The MSc will prepare graduates with a firm foundation in research methods and research knowledge of high industrial relevance, as well as interdisciplinary team working skills to apply experimental and computational methodologies in the field of digital manufacturing.
The programme is strongly influenced by our industrial advisors and collaborators representing various fields of manufacturing R&D in the UK but also internationally.
With a strong emphasis on experiential learning of material development production within our holistic (and industry guided) digital manufacturing approach, and the industry related research projects in Term 3, our graduates will be in high demand in academia and especially in industry.
