Question: What is Materials Science, anyway?
Answer: Only the best kept secret in science, blending Physics and Chemistry, adding a hint of Biology, all in an engineering context, and all modelled with Mathematics! Entrepreneurship and Economics figure highly in the Department's Materials degree programme, to enable scientists to make the most of their discoveries and deal with businesses and investors confidently. But don’t just take my word for it – find out more at one of our many Open Days…

For full details see the main University open days website.
The Materials Department will provide an afternoon tour of the department, hands on demonstrations and a talk entitled 'What is Materials science, anyway?'.
