  Course description
  
  The MSc course combines elements of engineering analysis with design synthesis to develop problem solving ability. The combination of creative thinking and in-depth engineering analysis to demonstrate feasibility is a feature developed by the course. The programme focuses on the development of concepts to a mature engineering level, proving feasibility using modern computational methods - this is the current philosophy in the design field. The ability to design large multi-function engineering systems or structures and components, made from different materials, under complex loading, is of fundamental importance. Design problems of these types are particularly challenging and interesting and form a major area of study on the programme.
