Course content

This MSc programme is for students who want to further develop their expertise in aerospace engineering. You can tailor your degree to build on your prior experience, choosing modules that reflect your interests and chosen specialism, in areas such as spacecraft design, flight control and aeroelasticity.

• Join research groups working at the cutting edge of aerospace engineering and computational modelling at a top UK university.
• Accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society, demonstrating to employers that our graduates have an industry-level standard of knowledge.
• Work with our state-of-the-art facilities including the Whitehead Aeronautical Laboratory flight simulator and wind tunnels.

What you'll study

On this MSc course, you’ll be placed at the forefront of innovation in aerodynamics. We aim to build on your existing expertise by equipping you with advanced skills in computational modelling, numerical techniques and an in-depth understanding of engineering approaches to current aerospace problems. You can then choose to specialise in key fields by choosing from optional modules.

You’ll be supported to gain the skills necessary to work in the aerospace engineering industry, whether as a researcher or as an engineer for an aerospace company. You will collaborate with researchers working on alternative fuel sources, future-proofing your career by keeping you at the forefront of innovation in this sector.

You’ll be integrated into one of our research teams and work on an aerospace engineering-related project, supervised by one of our research experts. You’ll have access to our excellent facilities to work on your project.

From classroom-based learning to hands-on work in labs and workshops, every day will be different.
