Aerospace Engineering MSc Program Overview
The MSc Aerospace Engineering at Teesside University offers an advanced level of study in specific aspects of aerospace engineering which is in continuous demand from industry. You develop knowledge and key skills in advanced aerospace structures, advanced fluid dynamics, finite element methods, sustainability, space mission analysis and trajectory design, and supply chain management.
You gain hands-on experience using industry-standard facilities including a flight simulator, wind tunnel, materials and manufacturing labs, structural test labs, and a scanning electron microscope. The programme also trains you in professional software tools such as NASA's General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT), Siemens NX, and Ansys Fluent.
This accredited MSc meets part of the academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Graduates who also hold a CEng-accredited BEng (Hons) can demonstrate they have satisfied the educational base for CEng registration, positioning them strongly for professional engineering status.
Key Program Highlights
- Accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) and Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) for Chartered Engineer registration
- Access to flight simulator, wind tunnel, structural test labs, and scanning electron microscope
- Training in industry-standard software including NASA's GMAT, Siemens NX, and Ansys Fluent
- Pathway to Chartered Engineer (CEng) professional status through the Engineering Council
