Aerospace Engineering

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

Modes of delivery of the MSc in Aerospace Engineering include lectures, seminars and tutorials and allow students the opportunity to take part in lab, project and team work.

The summer period is dedicated to project work, with either academic or industrial placements providing the context for your project.

Semester 1 Core Courses FLIGHT DYNAMICS M CONTROL SYSTEMS ANALYSIS AND DESIGN M NAVIGATION SYSTEMS M SIMULATION OF AEROSPACE SYSTEMS SPACE FLIGHT DYNAMICS M PHYSICS OF FLUIDS M

Semester 2 Optional Courses

Select a team project from: AEROSPACE DESIGN PROJECT M* AEROSPACE SYSTEMS TEAM DESIGN PROJECT M

Select five courses from the following: ADVANCED AERODYNAMICS 5 [[[ENG5263]]] or AIRCRAFT VIBRATION AND AEROELASTICITY 4* AEROSPACE PROPULSION M AIRCRAFT HANDLING QUALITIES AND CONTROL 5* (subject to availability on flight test course and may incur an additional charge) AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE GUIDANCE SYSTEMS M* COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS 5 or COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS 4 FAULT DETECTION, ISOLATION AND RECOVERY* HIGH SPEED AERODYNAMICS 4 INDUSTRIAL AERODYNAMICS M* [[[ENG5072]]]** ADVANCED CONTROL 5 ROTORCRAFT AEROMECHANICS M SPACECRAFT SYSTEMS 5 [[[ENG5280]]]

Summer Project or dissertation MSC PROJECT or DISSERTATION PROJECT You will undertake an individual project or dissertation work in the summer period (May–August). This will give you an opportunity to apply and consolidate the course material and enhance your ability to do independent work, as well as present results in the most appropriate format. Project and dissertation options are closely linked to staff research interests. September entry students have a choice of management dissertation topics in addition to aerospace engineering projects, and January entry students have a choice of aerospace engineering projects.
