• The Oxford MSc by Research in Materials is a master's level research degree programme, typically of two years duration. Research projects in this leading department are available in most branches of materials science, as well as some aspects of solid state physics and chemistry.
  • The MSc by Research in Materials is normally carried out in two years of full-time study under the supervision of an experienced member of staff. 
  • Only a very small number of places are offered on the MSc by Research in Materials programme each year as the majority of the department's research students are enrolled on the doctoral programme, the DPhil in Materials. 
  • The MSc students work, train and study alongside the DPhil students, together forming a cohort of research students in materials.
