Course content

Get your career off to a flying start with the Aerospace Engineering MSc from Kingston University. This course meets the requirements of the Engineering Council for the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). It’s also accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society, under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council. We are the only UK university with industry-standard flight simulators that include Airbus A320 Flight Simulator, Helicopter Simulator and Six-Degree of Freedom Motion Simulator.

Undertake real-world problems in a virtual engineering environment.

At our Roehampton Vale campus, you will have access to a modern environment with the latest technology, including:

• The Merlin flight simulator - you can programme a mathematical model of your design into the simulator and then monitor the results
• Large-scale wind tunnels that enable testing in winds of up to 90 miles per hour
• Industry-standard test and experimental equipment for metrology, robotics, rapid prototyping, fatigue and quality control.

We also have a dedicated postgraduate workroom with high spec PCs and a range of software. Computer-aided design facilities include:

• A range of CAD/CAM packages, such as Ideas, SolidWorks and AutoCad
• Finite element analysis
• Computational fluid dynamics
• Virtual instrumentation.

The recently-enlarged library at Roehampton Vale provides collections of specialist engineering books and journals. The Graduate Centre, exclusively for postgraduate students, provides space for private study, meetings and socialising.

The £4 million Hawker Wing provides three floors of extra space for students and staff at Roehampton Vale, including improved learning and teaching facilities.
