Studying at Mansfield

 

  • Six students join our course each year.
  • We’re one of only seven Oxford colleges to take Materials Science undergraduates.

 

Materials Science involves both the physics and chemistry of solids – providing a broad-based scientific training that’s highly valued by many branches of industry.

The Materials Science (MS) course lasts 4 years and leads to the fully accredited MEng degree.

The 4th year of the MS course is spent entirely on research, working in a research group, usually within the Department of Materials. This ‘part II year’ is particularly valued by students and potential employers.

Your Materials Science Fellows and tutors

Mansfield has a range of tutors in Materials with different research interests. We share tutorial duties with Queen’s College, providing students with a range of specialist tuition in the diversity of topics within the course.

How to apply

Admissions interviews for Materials test the ability to think clearly and solve technical and mathematical problems, rather than assessing depth of knowledge. Candidates aren’t expected to display any detailed knowledge of materials, but evidence of a genuine interest will do no harm.

An Isolation Conversation with Professor Jason Smith

‘Quantum computing relies on the ability to keep track of delicate quantum states of selected atoms known as qubits, but when another atom in an unknown state comes along and shakes hands, there is a chance that our qubit will become.’

Social distancing and quantum computing – are we all qubits now?
