Aerospace Engineering – (M.Sc.)

If you already hold an engineering degree but would like to broaden and deepen your knowledge of the aerospace industry and gain a strategic overview of aerospace engineering and management issues, this course is ideal. It will help you to develop a wider perspective and understanding of the concerns facing the aerospace engineering industry, and includes subjects such as law, finance, risk assessment, and green environmental issues. Throughout the course, academic teaching is complemented by visits from industry experts, keeping you up-to-date with the latest developments.

This exciting and innovative course has been designed to satisfy the requirements of the Engineering Council's UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).

What will you study?

You will gain a broad understanding of the practical requirements of aerospace engineering, as well as a knowledge of the subjects that are both specific and complementary to aerospace engineering, such as modules in Further Aerospace Structures and Materials or Computational Fluid Dynamics. You will develop the ability to resolve the broader problems that arise in aerospace engineering. You will learn about management issues and improve your evaluation and project management skills.
The MSc features an Aerospace Design Project Dissertation module, a group design project that provides you with the challenge of undertaking a real-world problem in a virtual engineering environment. You will also develop an awareness of work in a multidisciplinary team within an engineering organisation with real industrial constraints.
