MSc Lightweight Structures and Impact Engineering

The Lightweight Structures and Impact Engineering MSc at Brunel University London is a specialist program designed to equip students with advanced knowledge and skills in areas covering lightweight structures, advanced materials and manufacturing, and impact engineering. It aims to bridge the gap between industry and research, providing students with the expertise to develop, analyse, test, and most importantly validate models for materials and structures exposed to harsh environments, which could include impacts, high strain rates, and extreme conditions such as under blast and fire.Course Content: This full-time one-year course contains core modules, optional modules, and a dissertation. The content revolves around conceptualising, designing, and analysing the performance of advanced lightweight structures, processing and characterisation of advanced materials, and the most recent advancements in composite materials. Key Modules: The core modules in this program are Lightweight Structures and Impact, Advanced Materials and Manufacturing, Advanced Composites: Manufacture and Testing, and Lightweight Structures and Impact Engineering Dissertation. Plus, a range of optional modules is available, including Modelling of Materials and Structures under Impact, Business Management and Entrepreneurship, and Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Element Analysis. Accreditations: At the time of writing, the accreditation information for this course is not provided on the course page.Future Careers: Graduates from the course have the opportunity to work in various high-technology industries, such as aerospace, automotive, defence, and energy. They are equipped to take up roles such as research scientists, technical managers, consultants, and analysts in industries or continue to pursue further research in academia.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
