More from Abigael

Haldrian Iriawan

"What I like the most is the way the subject is taught here: the people lecturing you are likely the ones at the forefront of world-class research"

More from Haldrian

Helen Tan

"Choosing Materials as my course of study is the best choice I have ever made in my life."

Alexandru Crișan

"I decided on Materials due to the diversity the course provides and its good coverage of engineering skills. I liked the feeling that it made me a jack-of-all-trades of sort."

Alice Robinson

Alice Robinson

Materials Science is a challenging discipline, using physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, engineering and more to answer questions and find solutions that transform the products we use in industry, in healthcare and in our daily lives.

More from Alice

Chris Lawrence

Can you study for an academically challenging science degree and still train to compete as an international sportsman? Of course you can, according to Chris Lawrence, a third year undergraduate student of Materials Science at Imperial and member of the Great Britain under 20s fencing team.

Laura Wheatcroft

Laura Wheatcroft

"Personally, I choose to do Materials instead of Physics or Chemistry because I felt it was a lot more of an engineering science than just a science"

More about Laura's choice

Brigita Darminto

Brigita Darminto

“It all started when I was in high school and read an article about liquid metal batteries written by a Professor of Metallurgy. He was basically explaining the importance of energy storage for our future because, whilst there are lots of possible ways to get renewable energy in the future, the new problem is; how can you store it in large amounts?"

Thomas Cosnahan

Thomas Cosnahan

"Imperial was one of the places that ran a Materials course and a tour of the department showed me the incredible technology they have at hand. A vast array of state of the art science technology meant being able to do science at the cutting edge of Materials research."
