Links with Industry and Employers
The programme has been designed to provide a breadth and depth of knowledge of composite
materials that will be of relevance to a wide range of companies who use these materials. This is
reflected by the Accreditation awarded to the programme, as detailed above. Many of the Research
Projects and Literature Review topics proposed to students are from industry contacts.
The programme is one of the primary providers of postgraduate education in composite materials in
the EU, and strives to pursue excellence through the delivery of a comprehensive and integrated
programme attracting ambitious applicants of high intellectual calibre.
Programme Aims and Objectives
By the conclusion of the programme, students will have achieved the following objectives:
1. Developed a firm grasp of the fundamental concepts and principles relating to the nature of
composite materials and their constituents; the processes of production of composites; the
engineering and other properties of composites; applications of current composite systems; and
the analysis and design methods for composite components. This will necessarily involve
reading of books and papers in addition to understanding material presented in the lectures.<

2. Demonstrated their ability to read the relevant scientific literature and to write an associated
review.
3. Demonstrated their ability to bring together all the aspects of the course by conducting a design
study.
4. Developed an understanding of the relevance and limitations of the destructive and non
destructive test methods used for composites.
5. Demonstrated their ability to carry out a major research project.
6. Demonstrated their ab ility to communicate clearly and succinctly both orally and in writing.
7. Developed an appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of co mposite materials and hence
have the ability to communicate with and understand the problems of workers in specialities
different from their own.
