If you want an engineering qualification and are curious about what materials are made of, a materials science degree is for you. Everything we use is made of materials, yet only a handful of these materials actually occur naturally. All the rest have been microscopically engineered originally by nature, but increasingly by materials engineers/scientists. Materials Science is the underlying science of high-performance materials including metals, ceramics and plastics, electronic materials, nano-materials composites and biomaterials. Materials scientists are involved in every aspect of technology, ranging from the design of materials for use in integrated circuits and medical implants, through to materials needed for green energy generation.
