Course summary
In a field as innovative as aerospace engineering, the sky truly is the limit. This Masters degree covers advanced concepts and current knowledge in essential areas such as fluid dynamics and materials modelling. This is for you if you are interested in studying Aerospace Engineering at an advanced level. The course builds upon the General Engineering structure of the Department of Engineering. Hence, you will be exposed to a wide range of subjects across the Aerodynamics and Fluids, Materials and Control themes. There are few General Engineering departments in the UK which can offer such a broad perspective. The modules of the course are organised in four themes. Control, Fluids, and Mechanics of Materials are core aerospace technology themes, which match the research background of the staff of the Department of Engineering. The fourth theme is the application of systems engineering to aerospace projects and missions. The course can be taken full-time or part-time. The full-time version includes the option of an industrial placement, which is a great way to gain valuable experience.
Assessment method
Teaching methods include lectures and seminars supported by practical and lab work. Assessment is a mix of open and closed exams and continuous assessment. Your dissertation will be assessed separately.
Entry requirements
