Expert in Composite Materials Managing Composites
Extend your studies with specialization in composite materials
The objective of this program is to understand composite materials, starting with different types of fibers, fabrics, and cores, and cover various manufacturing and design technologies, both conceptually and in detail.
The program will include a significant practical and applied component, with the goal of explaining the often-unknown uses that composite materials can have in addressing engineering challenges.
The composite materials sector is experiencing significant growth and requires trained professionals. This program aims to be a fundamental piece that provides knowledge in the field of composite materials.
In order to achieve its objective, the program is divided into 6 face-to-face modules and 3 online modules. The face-to-face modules will provide a comprehensive understanding of composite materials, while the online modules will address current issues in the sector with the potential to revolutionize the materials industry.
“Training on composite materials has allowed me to enter the automobile and motorsport industry. The sector is booming and currently there is a lack of talent to cover the needs of large companies that work with composite materials. This program wants to connect the world of universities to the world of companies through applicable training from the very first day."
Ignacio Carranza CAE Manager at Managing Composites, former McLaren Automotive & Hyundai Motorsport, PhD
We have reinvented the traditional way of learning about composite materials with a bootcamp taught by former Koenigsegg and Future Fibers engineers, teaching skills applicable from the very first day.

Employability
Career Opportunities
The Expert Diploma in Composite Materials will prepare you to be able to work in different roles and sectors. There is a general increase in the industry of jobs that require know-how of composite materials, and at the same time there is a lack of trained talent to fill such positions in the industry.
The two main roles that can be filled upon successfully completing the Expert Diploma in Composites are Composites Engineer and Composites Design Engineer. Both roles require an understanding of composite materials from fibers to conceptual design to manufacturing technologies.
These roles can be found in engineering as well as OEMs, whether in the automobile or aerospace sector.
