The aim of the MSc Advanced Composites Design programme is to address urgently-needed solutions to industrial problems in the area of advanced materials. The programme has been developed in conjunction with industry and the University of Manchester as part of the Codate project, and can be delivered by new flexible modes that include block release and e-delivery. For more information about the Codate project, please visit our 'related links' section. About the course The MSc in Advanced Composites Design is a modular-style course. Fundamentally, the material and delivery methods of the course are industry-driven. Each of the modules will be available in 2-3 week blocks, as well as through e-learning. In this way they can be taken as discrete modules at the point of need by industry. Modules can be taken purely for professional development, or as credits towards a recognised qualification at postgraduate certificate, postgraduate diploma or MSc level.

Careers & professional development The programme is designed to address current and future skills requirements in the composite materials and aerospace sectors. It is envisaged that most students will already be working in these sectors, and the programme is therefore designed to meet their professional development needs. Successful graduates may choose to continue their studies by registering for a PhD on successful completion of the MSc programme. On graduation you will automatically become a member of the University’s alumni association, gaining access to a wide range of the University's facilities, including the library, journals and periodicals, as well as professional and employment advice throughout your career.
