Tue, 07 June, 2022

Last few scholarships available, offering fully funded fees for UK and EU applicants

Only a handful of Scholarships remain with Brunel University London for the Oil & Gas Engineering, Structural Integrity (Asset Reliability Management) and Lightweight Structures and Impact Engineering MSc courses taking place at NSIRC (National Structural Integrity Research Centre) and TWI research facility, Cambridge, UK.

The courses focus on industry-led postgraduate education, conducting research that is tackling urgent problems being faced by the energy sector, automotive, aerospace, transport, shipping and many more.

These postgraduate programmes provide graduates with the skills, knowledge and training to thrive within project lead and management level positions, and are ideal for recent graduates with a career focus, as well as those currently working within industry and wish to pursue a masters to advance their career.
