Course Description
This course has been set up to meet the national and international need for mathematically strong physical scientists and engineers with advanced skills in the theory and simulation of materials. The aim of the MSc is to train physical science and engineering postgraduates to carry out cutting-edge multi-disciplinary research in TSM. The central theme is bridging length and time scales since the need to bridge scales poses some of the most challenging problems in TSM. Students will be given a broad foundation in theoretical materials physics together with techniques of simulating materials across the wide range of length and time scales that are likely to be met in industrial and academic research. The MSc is run by academics from the six departments of Aeronautics, Chemical Engineering, Physics, Materials, Chemistry and Mechanical Engineering. There is close collaboration with industrial partners, with academics from other departments at Imperial College, and with academics from other universities, particularly in London through the Thomas Young Centre (TYC), the London Centre for Theory and Simulation of Materials. Applications for the MSc are welcome from self-funded students from the EU and overseas. In addition there are ten four-year fully-funded studentships available for EU students ordinarily resident in the UK for October 2011 entry. These studentships lead to both MSc and PhD postgraduate degrees in TSM.
