Bachelor of Science - Materials Science

University of New South Wales (UNSW Sydney)

Everything in the world is made of materials. However, only a small number of these materials occur naturally, with the rest having been microscopically engineered by nature or, increasingly, by materials scientists and engineers. The field of materials science and engineering plays a vital role in our lives, offering innovative new materials and processes for improving society in the 21st century. Examples include the novel materials needed for future long-life rechargeable batteries, the creation of entirely new products from seemingly waste materials, and the development of medical implants and artificial organs that enhance and extend our lives. UNSW is the top choice for students wanting to develop expertise in Materials Science and Engineering. In our undergraduate and postgraduate degree programs, you will study the underlying science and engineering needed for the development of high-performance metallic, ceramic, polymeric, composite, nanostructured, and bio- & nature-inspired materials, as well as the design of sustainable processes and products. You will learn about the incredible positive impact these materials and processes have on our environment, health, standard of living, productivity of vital resources, national security, and economic prosperity.
