MSc Advanced Lightweight and Composite Structures

... United Kingdom
... Cranfield University

Course Overview

Understanding how advanced lightweight metallic and composite materials and structures perform over their life cycles under static and dynamic loading, including crash and bird strike, requires expertise in a range of areas. As new simulation and material technologies emerge, there is a strong demand for talented employees with a sound understanding of structural analysis, together with competent technical skills in numerical simulation.

Combined with Cranfield University’s long-standing track record for delivering high-quality master's programs in both advanced materials and structures, this course equips students with the knowledge and skills in the design and analysis of advanced lightweight metallic and composite materials and structures to solve a wide range of industrial challenges for weight saving, sustainability, and carbon reduction without compromising structural reliability and safety.

Our course receives strong support from the aerospace and automotive industries including Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Safran, Jaguar Land Rover, Aston Martin, and McLaren. There is a strong emphasis on applying knowledge in the industrial environment with the group and individual projects commonly sponsored by industry, which gives you highly relevant context to your studies and practical work and prepares you to successfully launch your career.
