Lightweight Structures and Impact Engineering MSc

Delivered near Cambridge at the National Structural Integrity Research Centre (NSIRC), Brunel's unique Lightweight Structures and Impact Engineering master's focuses on preparing you to design and analyse advanced lightweight structures to support carbon reduction targets for transportation, offshore, marine and defence sectors. The programme is tailored toward the interests and expertise of aerospace and automotive engineering graduates.

In reducing structural weight, it is essential not to compromise 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, this degree programme targets two key areas:

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).
Providing specialist training and competency in advanced simulation methods (mesh-based and meshfree) and application to lightweight structural design.
Students will graduate with in-depth knowledge and expertise in areas such as predicting material failure, design of automotive crash protection systems, aircraft ditching, bird strike ingestion, drone impacts, wave impacts on off-shore structures and assessing ballistic performance.

Key features:
