MSc Composites: the Science, Technology and Engineering Application of Advanced Composites

Imperial College London

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.Professional accreditation:This degree is accredited by the following organisations on behalf of the Engineering Council:Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS)Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)Institution of Materials, Minerals and Mining (IOM3)Achieving a professionally accredited integrated Master's means that you have satisfied the first step to becoming a Chartered Engineer (CEng) in your chosen field by meeting the educational requirements of professional registration.
