Advanced Lightweight and Composite Structures MSc

This is a MSc course in the design, simulations and experiments of advanced lightweight and composite structures for application in aerospace, automotive, motorsport, marine and renewable energy industries. The course covers key topics in composite structural design and analysis, impact and crashworthiness, materials characterisation and failure and advanced simulation.

Delivered with a unique focus on industry challenges and concerns, this course will equip you with strong experimental, numerical and analytical skills in structural mechanics for both composite and metallic components. This will help you to practically apply this knowledge to solve real engineering problems including automotive and aircraft structural design through to lightweight composites for use in wind turbines.
