Description Contents Requirements More

This is an integrated degree programme that brings together the key generic skills of management and research methods with specific modules focusing on aerodynamics and flight mechanics. This approach will help you to develop your critical thinking skills as a future engineering manager, or technical specialist enabling you effectively to analyse technical and or management issues. The programme aims to:

* equip you with the theory and the practice of relevant subjects, technologies and analytical tools to provide solutions for aerospace and related manufacturing problems
* provide a blend of knowledge and application experience through case studies and project work
* focus on the links between analysis and design and the supporting skills of management
* provide education and experience which enhances prospects of professional employment within the industry

You study three core 30-credit modules and chose two 15-credit option modules, plus a major project. The project accounts for one third of your degree.

About the course
* The School has over 50 years' experience of teaching aerospace, and has established an excellent international reputation in this field;
* We offer extensive lab facilities for aerospace engineering students, including a flight simulator, the latest software packages and windtunnels;
* This MSc combines analysis and design with management skills to produce highly-employable postgraduates.

Careers
This programme will help you to develop your critical thinking skills as a future engineering manager or technical specialist as it will enable you to effectively analyse technical and management issues. This blend of technical and managerial content is invaluable in job applications as well as helping to fast-track your career in the industry. Teaching methods
