Abstract

The article looks at the declining number of materials science graduates and its impact on British companies. Data showed that 41% of companies are struggling to find candidates with appropriate skills. The shortage of good graduates was noticed by David Field from Materials Edge. Particular focus is given to the story of BP Materials and Corrosion Engineer Charlotte Vie. Materials testing and consultancy group Ceram is one firm that hires materials science and engineering graduates.
