With an academic staff of around 30, including Research Fellows, the Department’s research covers all major areas of the subject, and this breadth is reflected in the scope of our increasingly popular four-year undergraduate course. The emphasis in undergraduate teaching is always on the underlying principles which are applicable to the whole range of engineering materials; ceramics, metals, polymers, composites, solid state device materials. The lecture courses are integrated with laboratory work, projects, example classes and supervisions in small groups. Contact with industry plays an important part in the course through visits to industrial facilities, speakers from industry and vacation placements. The Department is continuing to grow and remains one of the leading centres for the study of materials in the world.Working Hours :Monday – Friday 9 am to 5 pm with one day per week dedicated for studies and course work.Skills: Communication skills,IT skills,Attention to detail,Organisation skills,Team working....Read more...
