MSc Advanced Materials and Additive Manufacturing
Course code: OLPBJ Level: 7
Additive manufacturing is an emerging advanced manufacture technology, sometimes referred to as 3D printing. Derby and the East Midlands are dominated by employment in advanced engineering and related industries, but there is a global lack of specialised graduates who can work in supply chain companies.
This Masters in Advanced Materials and Additive Manufacturing programme is designed for both engineering graduates and as a conversion programme for students who have qualifications in other analytical disciplines* such as physics or geology, enabling them to transition to careers in advanced manufacturing and other high-tech industries. This programme also provides the academic and educational underpinning required for students with backgrounds in relevant disciplines which may support applications for Chartered Engineer status.
