MSc by Research Corrosion & Protection: The University of Manchester

Course description

The research degrees in corrosion and protection benefit from one of the world's largest academic based activities dedicated to corrosion and its control. They work closely with the world's leading companies, consultancies and industrial research groups to create a forward-looking and strategic research activity.

Corrosion science and technology are key to the development of new materials and innovative production processes for use in industries driven by the need to improve their capital productivity, operational reliability, efficiency, performance and health and safety of the world's physical assets.

Their industry-driven, fundamental and strategic research is organised into four overlapping themes: corrosion mechanisms, prediction and control; environmental degradation and protection by coatings; high-temperature protection; performance of light alloys.
