Aerospace Engineering MSc

The Aerospace Engineering course has been designed to meet the requirements of the Engineering Council for UK-SPEC. It provides you with a strategic overview of engineering and management issues.
The course will develop your professional, analytical, research, business and management skills, as well as improving your technical skills and knowledge. For example, you will gain communication, teamwork, planning, decision-making, IT and problem-solving skills which enhance your prospects of gaining employment and progressing your career in the aerospace industry.
The programme is built on a comprehensive application of techniques such as advanced computer-based design, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Elements Analysis (FEA).
Each module combines a stimulating mix of lectures, practical laboratory work, group work, case studies and presentations.
The Aerospace Group Design Project gives you the chance to solve a real-world engineering problem.
You can choose to study either full time or part time to fit in with work commitments. September and January start dates give you extra flexibility.
There is a strong link between our academic staff research and teaching. Our teaching teams have been actively involved in the research of computational fluid dynamic, aerodynamics and advanced materials.
Postgraduates of this course have taken up posts in a variety of employment settings including Rolls-Royce, CAA, Sterling Aerosapce, Marshalls Aerospace, Royal Navy, Amsafe Armour, Solion Solar Energy, Easjet, Lufthansa, Flybe, Hawkerhind and Precision Press Parts Corp. Some postgraduates have continued their studies in PhD research projects.
Kingston University is the biggest provider of undergraduate aerospace engineering courses in the UK.

A good honours degree, or equivalent, in aerospace engineering or a related discipline (such as aircraft or mechanical engineering).

The Aerospace Engineering MSc course is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society.

This degree has been accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council. Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered Engineer (CEng). Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
