Materials Department Postgraduate Pages

Welcome and Introduction

Welcome to the postgraduate student homepage for the Department of Materials at QMUL. We are now the largest Department of Materials in the UK, with more than 150 postgraduate students from over 35 different countries.

We hope that you will find studying here in such a multicultural and ethnically diverse environment, both enjoyable and stimulating. These pages contain a large amount of information both on research and taught programmes, which will help you decide if you want to join us or settle in here after you have arrived as a new student. Our diverse ranges of postgraduate courses are designed in view of recent trends in science and technology, which are complemented with the multidisciplinary research teams. Our strength in taught programmes is linked to the novel research carried out in our department.

The department enjoys a wealth of collaborative links with like-minded research centres across the world, in the USA, Europe, and Asia, and a regular flow of international research visitors contribute to the lively and cosmopolitan atmosphere. In addition, if you are viewing the postgraduate courses in the college then additional information such as the individual course lecture notes are made available as well as previous years' examinations papers, and other useful resources like an extensive database of potential employers that have expressed an interest in employing our postgraduates in the past.

I hope that you find what you are looking for, if not then drop me a line and I will see if we can improve the website still further.
