Aerospace Engineering

University of Bristol
Undergraduate MSc (Res) Full-time 2 Years Aeronautical and aerospace engineering

About this course

Aerospace engineering research at Bristol is organised via cross-faculty research groups with interests spanning four key areas:

  • Fluid Flow and Aerodynamics

  • Bristol Composites Institute (BCI)

  • Dynamics and Control

  • Robotics

    This work is supported by at least 50 academic staff, more than 70 research staff and over 240 postgraduate students, plus a highly experienced administrative and technical support team.

    Aerospace engineering is a specific discipline involving experimental, numerical, theoretical and computational research which is later applied to aerospace-related problems, for example, fixed-wing aircraft, rotorcraft, wind turbines and UAVs.

    All postgraduates would expect to publish in high-quality journals and present at international conferences so our research programmes are aimed at independent and self-motivated applicants.
