Composites are covered in many of our individual modules.

We have a specific polymers and composite modules

Teaching on composites is mainly included in the MEng and BEng Materials Science and Engineering programmes (JACS codes: J500 and JH51). Currently there are also students on a MEng Polymer Science and Engineering programme. Although we no longer accept UCAS applicants onto the first year of this course, it is possible for students to transfer onto it after completing one or two years of Materials Science and Engineering. Students studying MEng Materials Science and Engineering with a Modern Language (J5R9) and MEng or BEng Materials Science and Engineering with Industrial Management (FH21/FHF1) also have opportunities to study composites (although less than on the 'straight' Materials course).

At Masters level, there is a popular MSc (Eng) in Polymer and Polymer Composite Science and Engineering.
