Study with us – MSc Advanced Materials
Providing the building blocks of innovation
From clean energy to clean water, advanced materials provide the building blocks of innovation in a vast range of sectors and applications. As a materials chemist, you may design and develop intelligent products for areas such as health, energy, mobility and communication, as well as environment and climate management.
Our MSc Advanced Materials offers the chance to get to grips with materials chemistry including the design, analysis and characterisation of materials. With a multi-disciplinary approach, we offer a fascinating combination of chemistry and project management to develop your professional skills and prepare you to join the next generation of materials scientists.
The course is suited to talented chemists and scientists with a passion for analysing and creating innovative materials. With a core interest in materials chemistry, on this course, you’ll develop an in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure and performance of different materials, the fundamental principles driving the development of innovative products, and strategies for the design and development of novel materials.

Collaboration with the Fuel Cell Innovation Centre
On the course will you have the opportunity to learn in collaboration with the Manchester Fuel Cell Innovation Centre (MFCIC). You'll benefit from the research conducted in the MFCIC. The units on the course have been developed by staff in the Centre and the tutors you’ll learn from lead on the teaching of topics at the forefront of our research.
In the units Innovative Materials, Nanotechnology and Applied Materials for Modernisation, you’ll learn the scientific principles and phenomena underpinning materials chemistry. You’ll also learn through the Energy Materials unit, which directly links to fuel cell and related technologies.
In addition to the taught units, you will be able to undertake a research project supervised by one of our academic staff in the Advanced Materials and Surface Engineering Research Centre, which focuses on the production and characterisation of novel materials and the modification of surfaces for a wide range of applications:
- Fuel Cell Technologies
- Low Carbon Fuels
- Catalysis
- Advanced Functional Materials
- Nanotechnology
- Sensors
Our Facilities
You’ll have the opportunity to select research projects working with staff members from MFCIC and therefore in some cases, you will have the opportunity to use the facilities within the centre.
You also have the opportunity to learn more about 3D-printing and the facilities we have at PrintCity.
