Materials Science

To prepare for your Materials Science application, you must demonstrate your motivation for the subject and specific interests. You can do this by reading beyond your school curriculum. Our interviewers recommend:

• 'Made to Measure: New Materials for the 21st Century' by Philip Bal
• 'Stuff Matters: The Strange Stories of the Marvellous Materials that Shape Our Man-made World' by Mark Miodownik
• ‘The New Science of Strong Materials or Why You Don’t Fall Through the Floor’ by J. E. Gordon

Practice interviews for Materials Science applications are critical. You wouldn’t sit an exam without doing a mock, so don’t place yourself in an interview without having experienced a practice interview first.
