Cambridge, UK

Updated 01/08/16

This course is now full. If you are interested in being on the standby list for this course, or in a possible future course, please register your interest below.
The Society’s first training course, Designing Magnetic Products, will take place in August 2016. The course will provide an introduction to subjects required to design and manufacture successful applications of magnets.
The course is designed for engineers, scientists or anyone interested in understanding the considerations involved in creating products which use magnets, including specifying, designing, manufacturing and shipping them.
