A selection of six of the best bits from our MSc in Structural Integrity (Asset Reliability Management) that set it apart.
There are 6 key features of our MSc in Structural Integrity (Asset Reliability Management) with Brunel University London that enhance the programme when compared with similar courses.
Postgraduate study opportunities with the National Structural Integrity Research Centre (NSIRC) and Brunel University at TWI in Cambridge are unlike more traditional MSc programmes offered in the United Kingdom or worldwide.
Together, NSIRC, Brunel and TWI have created a full-time masters degrees that focus on industrial need for urgent research, and the ambitions of academia for novel research.
UK and international students are traditionally attracted to Structural Integrity MSc degrees through the knowledge students gain on subjects around structural failure, fracture mechanics, inspection and maintenance. But alongside these traditional aspects, this masters of science degree is able to offer much more...
