Master Scholarships in Advanced Structural Analysis and Design Using Composite Materials

Master Scholarships in Advanced Structural Analysis and Design Using Composite Materials

The FRP++ is a highly specialised Master focusing on structural analysis and design using composite materials.

The FRP++ EMJM central objective is to prepare a new generation of engineers and/or scientists to access highly skilled jobs in the market of structural composites applicable to several industries with solid background and in an integrative and multidisciplinary context, with concerns about developing sustainable solutions.

Furthermore, students may consider engaging in a further degree of studies towards (PhD) research on the structural composites proficiency level.

The FRP++ Master will provide students with advanced knowledge and skills to work and develop a professional career positions in the analysis, the design, and the manufacturing of key industrial sectors, particularly in the construction and infrastructure industries, aerospace and aeronautics, automotive, wind energy, defence, maritime, sports among others, since structural composites are key technological and economic components to address current and future challenges in those industries.

The FRP++ will exploit the common denominators that exist in all of these sectors for addressing structural composites, which are increasingly critical.

Therefore, the Master addresses the following key areas in structural composites that are not being conveniently addressed in the general curricula of classic Bachelor and Master programs:

Materials and manufacturing processes;
Mechanics and modelling;
Analysis and design;
Inspection and diagnosis, repair and strengthening;
Sustainability and life cycle analysis.

Admission Requirements - Master Scholarships in Advanced Structural Analysis and Design Using Composite Materials

The admission requirements for students wishing to enrol in the FRP++ Master Course are a degree in Civil Engineering, Mechanical and/or Industrial Engineering, Materials Engineering, Aeronautical Engineering, Polymers Engineering or related fields or equivalent qualifications.

Students are expected to have a higher education degree with a minimum of:

Bachelor and/or Master degree(s) with 300 ECTS-credit points (typically equivalent to a graduation with a total of 5 years of studies).
Note: this requirement becomes a mandatory for all students whose mobility track includes UNINA;
Bachelor degree(s) with 240 ECTS-credit points (typically equivalent to a graduation with a total of 4 years of studies);
Students need to be proficient in English.

Students from non-English speaking countries are required to have one of the following certificates:

TOEFL certificate paper based (minimum score 525);
TOEFL certificate internet based (minimum score 72);
IELTS certificate (academic version, minimum score 6.5);
Other recognized language proficiency certificates.
The language proficiency certificate must be less than 3 years old.

If you do not have an official English proficiency certificate but consider that your English knowledge is enough to enrol in the English taught Master programme, you may still apply anyway.

A relevant declaration/proof should be attached anyway in the application form in the field “other recognized language proficiency certificate”.

Please consider that if you opt to not submit an official English proficiency certificate this may determine a lower score during the evaluation process.

In case an applicant not having submitted a recognized English certificate reaches an eligibility position for scholarship or enrolment, an interview will be scheduled for verification and validation of the claimed English skills, to assess the validity of the score attributed.

Admission is made on a competitive basis; the students are

assessed on the basis of their previous academic records.

Students who have not completed their degree but predict to graduate before July 31 of the admission year, can apply to the Master course and receive a grant.

If selected, their admission will be conditional on the receipt of the degree diploma by the MSc Secretariat before July 31.

Upon application, students must provide:

Letter of motivation between 1500 and 3500 characters (spaces included);
Detailed Curriculum Vitae in European format (see instructions here);
Certificates and diplomas from previous universities studies;
Transcripts of records including grades and course syllabus from previous university studies;
English proficiency certificates;
Certificates of relevant work experience and other professional certificates, if any;
Two recommendation letters (sent by the applicant directly through the application portal);
Proof of residence (issued within 12 months before the submission deadline) – only for the first call;
Special educational needs evidenced by a report from a specialist doctor and/or, in specific cases, describing the type of special educational need and its impact for the demands of the FRP++/involved Partners setting.
Admission is subject to the approval of the FRP++ Managing Board and is based upon the applicant’s ability and motivation, recommendation letters and language skills.
