This Aerospace Engineering MSc degree is a specialist, accredited course that has been developed to equip students with advanced technical knowledge and management skills to meet the needs and current challenges facing the ever-growing aerospace engineering industry.
Through theoretical study and hands-on practice, students will gain an in-depth understanding of key aerospace disciplines covering aerodynamics, propulsion systems, and space mechanics. They’ll deepen their knowledge of aerospace structures, and the design and analysis of aerospace vehicles, and also acquire specialist knowledge on current aerospace engineering topics concerning flight safety, environmental impact, and fuel efficiency.
Students have access to a range of technical facilities including Brunel's aerospace/aviation laboratory, full-motion engineering flight simulator, supersonic and subsonic wind tunnels, materials and structure testing laboratory, anechoic chamber for aero-acoustic experiments, and 3D printing in the digital fabrication workshop. Industry standard specialist software for aircraft design is available for students to use 24 hours a day in high-performance computing clusters.
At Brunel, students will benefit from guest lectures delivered by industry professionals who present a valuable insight into current, challenging topics in the field of aerospace. There are also planned visits to engineering and manufacturing companies where students will see first-hand the latest breakthroughs in development and technology for future aerospace systems. In addition, they have the advantage of Brunel’s close location to London’s Heathrow Airport for site visits as well as project and employment opportunities.
This MSc aerospace engineering course is accredited by both the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). These professional bodies ensure that this engineering degree meets the academic requirement to qualify as a professional engineer. This accredited MSc degree in aerospace engineering fully meets the educational requirement for progression to Chartered Engineer (CEng) status. It is studied full-time over one year.
Brunel Engineers is an annual exhibition that showcases the engineering talent at its finest. It’s a great way for students to network with leading aerospace engineering experts and show them the innovative, creative and enterprising work they have produced during their time at Brunel.
As an extracurricular activity, there is also the opportunity to be part of a student-led initiative involving the design and build of an unmanned aircraft vehicle and participating in the IMechE industry-sponsored UAS Challenge (Unmanned Aircraft Systems Challenge).
