About this position

The University of Edinburgh offers a Materials and Processes MScR, a postgraduate research master's programme based at the Institute for Materials and Processes within the School of Engineering. It is available full-time over one year or part-time over two years, with multiple start dates and study at the King's Buildings campus in Edinburgh, United Kingdom.

The programme is suitable for students seeking specialist research training in materials science, materials processing, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering and biomedical engineering. Research may involve the design, synthesis, processing and characterisation of materials, biomedical and process engineering, and the development of engineering solutions to challenges including greenhouse-gas reduction, sustainable energy, clean water and healthcare.

Students undertake an individual research project using experimental, computational or theoretical approaches. Institute research themes include carbon capture and separation processes; digital design and manufacture; materials design, processing and characterisation; reaction engineering and catalysis; and systems modelling from atoms to processes. Facilities support research in adsorption, biomedical engineering, conservation materials science, advanced materials synthesis at high pressure and temperature, ice mechanics, multiphase flows and multiscale modelling.

Applicants normally need a UK 2:1 honours degree or international equivalent in an appropriate subject, or relevant qualifications and experience. The application requires a personal statement, relevant skills or training, a research proposal of up to two A4 pages, two recent references, degree certificates and transcripts, and English-language evidence. Applicants should identify a proposed supervisor and may include a CV and publication details. There is no application fee.

This is not advertised as a funded studentship. Applicants should plan for tuition fees, additional programme costs and living expenses. Estimated Edinburgh living costs for 2026–2027 are £18,504 per year. A 10% tuition-fee discount may be available to eligible University of Edinburgh graduates.
