Route
A bachelor’s degree in a science. Materials scientists often have a degree in the subject and many universities offer undergraduate degrees in materials science or materials engineering. It’s also possible to work in this field with a degree from another discipline. Other subjects that can lead to a career in materials science include:
• Applied Chemistry
• Physics
• Chemical engineering
• Metallurgy
• Geology
• Mining engineering
• Structural engineering
Average salary
£32,959
(range from £26k-£45k)
*Another route into this career is studying for a Higher National Diploma (HND) in a similar subject to these degrees, though this may limit the types of jobs you can apply for. It may also be possible to find a job as a technician and then study for a professional qualification with the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3), which can lead to career progression.
Scientist
A material scientist studieas materials such as composites, nano materials, metal and ceramics – looking at their applications and properties. This means that this job role is key in the development of new materials used in a variety of industries.
