The University has recently built a new Aircraft Maintenance Training Centre for our aeronautical awards, which includes a BAE Jetstream aircraft, laboratory equipment, a gas turbine engine, wind tunnel upgrade and a flight simulator, as well as state-of-the-art engineering analysis software. A key element in the employment of postgraduate engineers is progression to management, so you will develop relevant managerial skills during this course, as well as an awareness of the wider issues that impinge on the aeronautical industry, such as the environment and safety. We have comprehensive links with industry through our Industrial Panel, which contains representatives from major companies, including BAMC, Storm, GE, Nordam Europe, TES and BA Avionics. Throughout this Masters course you will study a series of compulsory modules covering project planning and management, research methods and a dissertation which brings the taught elements of the course into context with research of industrial based project work. In addition to these compulsory modules (worth 90 credits) you can supplement your studies with a choice of option modules also worth 90 credits. * Integrative Project Planning and Management Running * Research Methods for Engineers Running* * Dissertation Running (60 credits) Optional modules: * Fatigue and Fracture Running* * Further Finite Element Analysis Running* * Further Computational Fluid Dynamics Running* * Non-destructive Testing Running* * Advanced Propulsion Running* * Further Aircraft Materials Running* * Safety Health and Environmental Engineering Running * Further Aircraft Structures Running *10 credit module The above information is a sample module description for illustrative purposes. Modules and module content may change from time to time.

Employment prospects are strong in this dynamic and diverse industry. Graduates with an MSc Aeronautical Engineering degree enhance their career opportunities in commercial and military aircraft engineering, the air transportation industry, teaching or research. The highly technical nature of this course also equips you for careers in many related, technology-intensive fields. Graduates are likely to progress to senior positions in the aeronautical engineering industry and related sectors.
