Introduction
This course introduces learners to the fundamentals of atomic reactivity, stability, and properties. Learners will develop the skills to analyse inorganic compounds, predict material properties, and design new materials with specific properties. The course equips learners to understand and manage material development processes, including the creation of catalysts and innovative products. With practical and theoretical insights, learners will be prepared to apply their knowledge in material property tuning and process optimisation. Suitable for learners from various scientific backgrounds, this course supports career pathways in materials science, chemical development, and industrial innovation.This course is credit-bearing (3AU) and stackable to:
- Graduate Certificate in Materials Science and Engineering (9 AU)
- FlexiMasters in Materials Science and Engineering (15 AU)
- Master of Science in Materials Science and Engineering (30 AU)
Learners will receive their Statement of Accomplishment (for a grade of D and above) or Certificate of Participation for each course—dependent upon their assessment performance.
As the micro-credential courses are only offered in this FlexiMasters in Materials Science and Engineering programme, learners are required to enrol into this programme and complete all required courses within this programme.
