Overview

Our approach to these areas includes the design and manufacture of materials for different applications at different scales – in the body, on the body, interaction with the body, the body in (a space).

Features

In the Materials Science programme from Royal College of Art, we encourage students to pioneer interdisciplinary research that spans materials science, chemistry and engineering, biology, bioscience, materials design, computer science, human-computer interaction, human-centred design, phenomenology, neuroscience, experimental psychology, and psychophysics.
