Course description
hat will you study?
You will gain a broad understanding of the practical requirements of aerospace engineering, as well as a knowledge of the subjects that are both specific and complementary to aerospace engineering, such as space mission analysis and design, and e-engineering with internet applications. You will develop the ability to resolve the broader problems that arise in aerospace engineering. You will learn about management issues and improve your evaluation and project management skills.
The MSc features an Industrial Project Review and Analysis module, which is normally taken in industry and provides you with the challenge of undertaking a real-world problem in an engineering environment. You will also develop an awareness of work in a multidisciplinary team within an engineering organisation with real industrial constraints.
