About this course

This programme is suitable for applicants who wish to enhance their engineering training or to convert to an advanced engineering discipline from backgrounds in mathematics, physics or computer science. You will develop specialist skills that are attractive to a broad spectrum of both aerospace and non-aerospace engineering industries. Through links with industry, it may be possible for projects to be carried out in industry.

All applicants must apply online. You can usually apply for up to two courses, although your second choice will only be considered if your first-choice application is unsuccessful. Most courses don't have a formal closing date, but popular courses close when they are full, so you should apply early to avoid disappointment. There may also be funding deadlines that apply to you. You will need to upload documents with your applications, which may include...

Course programme

Modules shown are for the current academic year, and are subject to change depending on your year of entry.

The course is taught and administered by the Department of Aeronautics.

It is assessed both by written examination, including associated coursework, together with a substantial individual research project of about four months' duration.

All lecture modules are optional, although you will be advised of suitable module combinations.

One unit is allocated per 10-lecture module, and the minimum requirement for the award of the degree is the attainment of passes in 12 units and in the individual project (a merit is obtained by passing 12 units and the individual project by achieving 60-69 per cent).

You are advised to take at least 19 units to be eligible for a distinction, covering the following areas:

  • Advanced Mechanics of Flight
  • Aeroservoelasticity
  • Aircraft Performance and Flight Mechanics
  • Analysis of Laminated Composites
  • Compressible flow
  • Computational Fluid Dynamics
  • Control theory
  • Finite element methods
  • Fundamentals of fluid mechanics
  • High Performance Computing
  • Hydrodynamic stability
  • Innovation Management
  • Introduction to Flow Control
  • Linear algebra
  • Navier-Stokes equations and turbulence modelling
  • Separated flows and fluid-structure interaction
  • Structural dynamics
