Curriculum and Modules
The MSc Aerospace Engineering curriculum combines core taught modules with a substantive research project. You learn through lectures, tutorials, and practical sessions, with lectures providing the theoretical underpinning while practical sessions give you the opportunity to apply your knowledge to specific problems.
Study the analysis and design of aircraft structures characterised by high strength-to-weight ratios, including monocoque and semi-monocoque thin-walled components used in modern aerospace applications.
Explore advanced concepts in fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, applying computational and analytical methods to solve complex flow problems relevant to aerospace vehicle design.
Gain practical experience using commercially available finite element packages, applying the method through case studies to solve design and manufacturing problems in aerospace engineering.
Learn to use NASA's General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT) for space mission design, optimisation, and navigation, supporting missions from low Earth orbit to lunar and deep space missions.
Explore the principles of sustainability within engineering practice, including environmental impact assessment, systems thinking, climate change mitigation, and policy frameworks supporting sustainable development.
