Aerospace Dynamics MSc

Course Description

The MSc in Aerospace Dynamics consists of 18 optional taught modules, an individual research project and a group flight test. The group flight test project consists of two compulsory modules to offer an initial introduction to aerospace dynamics and provide grounding for the group flight test. In addition to management, communication, team work and research skills, each student will attain at least the following learning outcomes from this degree course: * To gain a fundamental and applied understanding of air flows, vehicle dynamics and control and methods for computational modelling. * To be able to relate the fundamental aspects of engineering and applied science to the engineering of air flows and aircraft dynamics. * To gain a broader knowledge of aerospace engineering and the skills for in-depth analysis of aerospace dynamics-related problems. * To receive practical experience in the measurement, analysis and modelling of aerospace dynamics, particularly in relation to airborne and land-based vehicles.

Career outcomes

Industry driven research makes our graduates some of the most desirable in the world for recruitment in a wide range of career paths within the aerospace and military sector. A successful graduate should be able to integrate immediately into an industrial or research environment and make an immediate contribution to the group without further training. Increasingly, these skills are in demand in other areas including automotive, environmental, energy and medicine. Recent graduates have found positions in the aerospace, automotive and related sectors. Employers include: * Airbus * BAE Systems * Onera * Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt (DLR) * Defence, Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL) * QinetiQ * Rolls Royce * Snecma * Thales * Selex ES * MBDA * Jaguar Land Rover * Tata * Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) * Triumph Motorcycles. A significant number of graduates go on to do research and higher degrees.
