MSc Materials Science or MSc Advanced Composites & Polymers

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the comparison between MSc Materials Science and MSc Advanced Composites & Polymers for employment prospects. The MSc Materials Science program is offered at a higher-ranked university and includes programming components, making it a more versatile choice. In contrast, the MSc Advanced Composites & Polymers is more specialized and lacks programming, which may limit broader job opportunities. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards MSc Materials Science for its general applicability and potential for diverse career paths.

Would anyone here have an opinion on whether either of these MSc courses is better to have when looking for employment later? I'll already have a BSc Physics.

1) MSc Materials Science (at a much better ranked university than below, and includes some programming)
2) MSc Advanced Composites & Polymers (includes no programming)

I was thinking perhaps Materials Science because it's more general.

Perhaps Advanced Composites & Polymers is too specialised, though fine if you know you want to work specifically in that area (which I don't as yet know)?
