Student Testimonials

Read about why UCL Institute for Materials Discovery (IMD) is fantastic place to study Advanced Materials Science.

I was able to specialise in batteries, which involves materials science, thanks to this MSc course at UCL, a highly regarded university. I entered with very little battery expertise but the teaching team gave me good support, and I was exposed to the most recent advancements in the materials science world. The curriculum provided me with a wide knowledge of materials science whilst letting me specialise in Li-ion batteries for my research. My time at UCL was valuable and I still keep in touch with my supervisor and my coursemates sharing helpful insights. Muhammad Hakeem Bin Noor Azleen  Advanced Materials Science (Energy Storage) MSc, 2021/22
What drew me to study at UCL in this department was the ability to specialise in a particular research area of materials science, from which there are many to choose from here. Having a diverse and multicultural study environment with students and academics from different backgrounds provides the grounding for novel approaches and collaboration. I enjoyed the lecture content and found it relevant and interesting, examining underlying principles to tackle real world problems. Having dedicated lab time during the summer provided a chance to put into practice the knowledge learnt throughout the course. The level of support I received throughout the course was excellent and beneficial to my growth, both academically and professionally. I credit my study at UCL IMD to gaining the specific skills needed for my current graduate job. Lauren Levine Advanced Materials Science MSc, 2021/22
Enrolling at IMD has provided me with the opportunity to immerse myself in a wonderfully diverse academic environment. The dedicated supervisors, enriching coursework, and engaging laboratory sessions have been instrumental in honing my academic and technical capabilities over the course of the year. Simultaneously, I've had the privilege of gaining access to an elevated platform and an expansive range of resources, all of which have left a profound and lasting impact on my academic journey moving forward. Liwen Wang Advanced Materials Science MSc, 2022/23
