LMCC Access - AACME Students
Loughborough Materials Characterisation Centre (LMCC) is located within the School of Aeronautical, Automotive, Chemical and Materials Engineering (AACME). If your academic supervisor has suggested you use one or more of our facilities you can simply get in contact with us and LMCC will book a session on your behalf.
LMCC Access - Non AACME Students
If you are a student from outside of the School of Aeronautical, Automotive, Chemical and Materials Engineering (AACME) you can still access the facilities but there is an additional step. We first suggest you discuss your requirements with your academic supervisor. They will be able to provide you with a budget code for the analysis. It is recommended you agree the budget for the work. You can then independently contact LMCC and we will be more than happy to book a session on your behalf.
