Overview

The particular focus of the Lightweight Engineering and Composites program at PFH Private University of Applied Sciences is on both carbon fibre-reinforced plastics (CFRP, colloquially known as "carbon") and glass fibre-reinforced plastics (GFRP).

Study Content

Today's industry expects engineers to have more than just technological expertise. In addition to lightweight engineering and composites, this programme includes courses in management, automated manufacturing processes, digital factory planning and circular economy. On the technical side, you will learn about the production of composite materials and their applications in constructions.

The theory that this program covers has a connection to its practical application. That way, you will also have the opportunity of being directly employed in the field.

Career Opportunities

The Master of Science in Lightweight Engineering & Composites will give you a cross-industry qualification enabling you to undertake management tasks in activities related to fibre composites. It will, for example, open up excellent career prospects in aircraft construction, automotive engineering, machine construction, ship and yacht building, railway vehicle and wind turbine construction.
