Materials Science and Engineering with Biomaterials

About this course

Materials science and engineering is the discipline that examines the connection between the structure and properties of materials, and uses that understanding to design new materials and improve existing ones for specific applications. It encompasses metals, ceramics, polymers, composites, semiconductors, and biological materials, and it draws on chemistry, physics, and engineering to ask why materials behave as they do and how that behaviour can be controlled and optimised. The specialisation in biomaterials focuses this understanding on materials that interact with biological systems, from implants and prosthetics to drug delivery systems and tissue engineering scaffolds, a field of enormous importance for medicine and healthcare. At the University of Manchester, this four-year programme includes a foundation year, making it accessible to students who need additional preparation befo
