A carefully designed conversion course for engineering graduates looking to specialise in aerospace.
This is a fully immersive course for engineering graduates, drawing upon expertise from across the Faculty of Engineering. There are also close ties with some of the world’s leading aerospace companies.
The course has two strands; one for people converting from another discipline to aerospace engineering, and the other for those with a strong aerospace engineering background.
For students converting to aerospace engineering, you will study a series of foundational core modules designed to ensure you develop a strong aerospace understanding.
For students who already have a strong aerospace engineering background, you can extend your knowledge with a series of advanced core modules designed to enhance your understanding of critical areas in aviation technologies.
Both groups also choose from a range of options which includes traditional aeronautical subjects such as materials, structures, aerodynamics and propulsion necessary for the design of high-speed flight and lightweight aircraft, as well as concepts of systems integration and flight control. These options allow you to delve deeper into essential technologies supporting the production of more efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft and aerospace systems.
Through these options, you'll have the opportunity to tailor your studies to suit your individual interests and career aspirations, by specialising in either aeromechanics or avionics, or by choosing a broad range of subjects that suit your own career path.
Our innovative programme of study also includes the chance to design, build and fly an Unmanned Air Vehicle as part of the group design project. You’ll graduate as a highly knowledgeable aerospace engineering specialist.
Accreditation
While this MSc programme is not currently accredited, the curriculum has been developed to align with the professional standards required by the Royal Aeronautical Society. We are actively working toward formal accreditation and anticipate a review in due course.
