MSc Engineering (composite Materials)

The rapid emergence of composites has revealed a difficulty in supplying the industry with Engineers that have the requisite knowledge of the materials. This MSc in Composite Material Engineering has been developed with that in mind. Students will learn the full lifecycle of components designed and manufactured with composites.

• From first principles, potential students will learn the constituent parts of a composite material and understand the reasons for selecting each material. From there, manufacturing methodologies will be understood.
• Design using composites will be taught after the different types of failure mechanisms are shown. Finally, repair, recycling and disposal of composites will be discussed in detail.
• Students will be taught by lecturers from industrial and research backgrounds through a combination of lectures, tutorials, laboratory sessions and computer classes.
• Industry standard software will be taught to enable the students to graduate with the skills required for industry.
