Comprising of the Materials Science Centre, the Corrosion and Protection Centre, Textiles and Paper, the School encompasses an exceptional breadth of research and training materials, from design and development to performance and protection and management and marketing.
Our School's activities are built on its international reputation for excellence in research and teaching, reflected in the award of a Queen's Anniversary Prize for outstanding postgraduate training and research in Corrosion and Protection.
Much of the School's research is multidisciplinary, and students from a variety of science and engineering backgrounds, such as physics, chemistry and mechanical engineering, can apply their first degree to a project dealing with important real-life issues.
The research is industry-driven, finding direct application in meeting the needs of the School's industrial partners.
The School's research is organised into ten research groups, although research projects often involve researchers in other groups, other schools, other universities and industry.
