Third year Course Structure
These programmes aim to help you develop:
•
Your understanding of interfaces and materials in combination such as composites
•
Skills in extended project work and group studies
•
Improved conceptual understanding so that you are better able to devise and sustain arguments
and/or solve problems
•
Your appreciation of the uncertainty, ambiguity and limits of knowledge
•
Your ability to manage your own learning and using relevant literature and other media
•
As a BEng student, the skills and knowledge to undertake an individual research project, so
demonstrating that you can carry out independent original research; critically evaluate your own and
others’ results; and process new hypotheses

The Biomaterials programme aims to help you develop:
• Understanding of the principles behind materials processing, design and selection for specific
applications
• Skills in the design and production of materials for biological applications
• An understanding of a range of different approaches to analysing and solving problems at the life science
interface
• Skills in extended project work and group studies
• Improved conceptual understanding so that you are better able to devise and sustain arguments and/or
solve problems
• Appreciation of the uncertainty, ambiguity and limits of knowledge
