Aeronautical Engineering

Degree structure

As an Aeronautical Engineering MSc student, you will complete a series of taught modules over the first two semesters.

During the first semester, six modules will be chosen from:

• Viscous shear flows 
• Composite airframe structures
• Aircraft flight dynamics
• Aircraft operations and systems
• Aerospace control I
• Space flight dynamics 1
• Aerospace design project 4 (part 1)

During the second semester, six modules will be chosen from:

• Introduction to computational fluid dynamics
• Methods for turbomachinery design
• Introduction to aeroelasticity
• Introduction to wind engineering
• Flight testing 4 (places are subject to availability and a possible separate fee)
• Autonomous vehicle guidance systems
• Aerospace control II
• Advanced concepts 1
• Space applications
• Research techniques
• Aerospace design project 4 (part 2)

Additionally, field visits will take place during the second semester.

Summer work consists of an individual project and MSc dissertation.
