Lightweight Structures and Impact Engineering MSc focuses on preparing you to design and analyze advanced lightweight structures to support carbon reduction targets for transportation, offshore, marine and defense sectors. In reducing structural weight, it is essential not to compromise the safety, as structural integrity and impact response under extreme loading become key design drivers. As new simulation and material technologies emerge, there is a continuing need for CAE specialists to competently work across several engineering disciplines. With over 15 years' experience providing graduates to industry, including Jaguar Land Rover, Aston Martin, McLaren, and Rolls-Royce, this postgraduate engineering degree program targets two key areas: Firstly, understanding the linear and non-linear material and structural response over different operating conditions, which may include large or rapid deformation, failure (static and transient), and high strain rate loading (inertial effects, wave propagation, and shockwaves). And secondly, providing specialist training and competency in advanced simulation methods (mesh-based and mesh-free) and application to lightweight structural design.
