Course Summary

Course overview

Explore the broad field of advanced composites in this professionally accredited degree, taught by experts in the field from the College, other universities, major aerospace companies and government research organisations.

You'll examine the manufacturing and characterisation of composites and engineering design, with new aircraft and other challenging engineering applications increasingly dependent upon the unique capabilities of high performance composite materials.

Over the 12 months of the course, you'll develop an outstanding knowledge in this subject area, on a programme renowned as one of the primary providers of postgraduate education in composite materials in Europe.

Learn about the mechanical performance of composite materials and consider the costs, ease of fabrication, durability, and other factors which impinge on creating viable industrial products.

Carry out your studies and research in the department's cutting edge laboratories and workshops, with numerous technicians on-hand to support you when using the equipment and software.

Modules

This course is intended to introduce the basics of stress analysis. It will provide a refresher for those who have already covered stress analysis in their first degree course. For those who have had no previous teaching in this topic, the course will provide a grounding in the basic principles which, together with further reading, will enable you to undertake other lectures courses on your MSc which require aspects of stress analysis techniques.
