Aerospace Engineering MSc

The MSc Aerospace Engineering programme is designed for engineering graduates wishing to develop knowledge of advanced aerospace engineering topics, and hone skills required to make them succeed in industry. Students graduating from this programme will have the knowledge and skills required to tackle the big questions facing the aerospace sector, and would be looking to lead in developing next-generation solutions.<br/><br/>The programme is for graduates who have a first degree in either Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or another engineering topic that contains a good amount of aerospace content. All students will be able to hone their existing engineering knowledge, and develop a higher understanding of aerospace engineering. For those with a more general engineering degree, this programme will allow them to specialise in aerospace engineering meaning they can transition to working in the aerospace sector. All students will be joining the University of Bristol, which has a long history of nationally-leading aerospace teaching. The City of Bristol is also the centre of aerospace engineering in the UK, with Airbus, Rolls-Royce, GKN, Leonardo and Boeing (to name a few) within a few minutes of the University.<br/><br/>Uniquely, this programme allows students to either tailor their degree around a specialism they find interesting, or remain general. Optional units that reflect the research expertise at Bristol means students could specialise in, for example, aerodynamics or composites, or remain more general by taking broader options in, for example, space engineering or wind energy. As well as this, students will work on a group multidisciplinary design task, with a brief that mimics industrial design problems. Students will apply their advanced aerospace engineering knowledge, and develop key soft skills such as communication and team-working to perform the conceptional design of an aircraft. The knowledge and skills that students will develop during the degree will put them on the path to success in their future careers.
