The modules include lectures, workshops, case studies, tutorials and company visits. Students need to complete four compulsory modules that are fundamental to Aerospace manufacturing systems and four modules are technology-related. The course develops future aerospace manufacturing engineers and managers who will be able to manage major improvement programmes or instigate intervention that delivers improvements to the performance of their aerospace manufacturing businesses. The course combines Cranfield's long-standing expertise for delivering high-quality Masters programmes in both aerospace and manufacturing. Courses receive strong support from the global aerospace industry, both the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) such as Airbus and Rolls-Royce, as well as their tiers of suppliers. There is a strong emphasis on applying knowledge in the industrial environment and all teaching is in the context of industrial application. Many features of this course are shared with the Engineering and Management of Manufacturing Systems MSc, but this course specifically prepares graduates to embark on a career particularly in aerospace manufacturing.

Takes you on to a wide-range of aerospace manufacturing roles such as management, operations, logistics and technology-related functions within global aerospace manufacturing organisations. Many graduates find employment with one of their project sponsors.
