Course descriptionStudents wishing to pursue a career in aerospace engineering will be able to apply their skills and knowledge of engineering science in the design of aerospace devices and the associated components used in the production of civil and military aircraft, spacecraft and weapons systems.
The aerospace industry is at the forefront of modern engineering and manufacturing technology. Engineers trained in this field are in great demand.
The modules to be studied include:
-Aerodynamics
-Aerospace
-Computation & Assembly
-Aerostructures
-Flight Dynamics & Control
Career progression
Aerospace manufacturing is an industry achieving phenomenal growth particularly in Europe and the UK but also worldwide and there is an expanding need for highly skilled Chartered Aerospace Engineers. To achieve chartered status, UK engineers need a Master’s level qualification. The MSc/PgDip in Aerospace Engineering is a highlyvalued qualification and graduates can expect to pursue careers in a range of organisations around the world such as aerospace companies and their suppliers, governments and research institutions.
