Gain the skills and knowledge to work as an aeronautical engineer in the aerospace industry, in the UK or overseas. Secure a paid work placement to boost your industry knowledge and career success.
The aerospace industry is one of the UK's most successful sectors. Our well-established course is recognised by major international companies such as Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Airbus Helicopters and BAE Systems.
You’ll apply advanced theories to their practical application and work in our specialist laboratories using industry standard design and analysis software. Experience real aircraft systems with our flight simulator and wind tunnel.
For an exhilarating break from study, you can take to the skies, thanks to student membership at a local gliding club!
On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: MSc Aeronautical Engineering
If you choose to complete a work placement, we’ll work with you to identify a suitable organisation.
You’ll study eight taught modules with topics ranging from Power and Propulsion Systems to Advanced Aeronautical Systems. You’ll undertake a research-based dissertation and be encouraged to apply for and complete a 12-month paid industry placement giving you real-world experience of aeronautical engineering.
Demand for aeronautical engineers is high. Help your career to soar in the aeronautical and aviation industries with an MSc.
The tables provide an indicative list of the modules that make up the course for the current academic year. Each module is worth a specified number of credits. Our teaching is informed by research, and modules change periodically to reflect developments in the discipline. We aim to ensure that all modules run as scheduled. If for any reason a module cannot be run we will advise you as soon as possible and will provide guidance on selecting an appropriate alternative module.
Normal entry requirements are at least a 2:2 honours degree or equivalent in a related engineering or technology discipline. Alternatively, if you have significant appropriate experience and capable of responding to postgraduate work, your application will be considered.
If your first language is not English a minimum score of IELTS 6 or TOEFL 550 (213 computer-based) is normally required.
Engineering is changing. Our new degrees will prepare you for industry 4.0.
For equivalent entry requirements in your home country, please see the information on our country pages.
Our flight simulator runs XPlane software and has a professional PFC flight console and radio stack system.
It can be used for flying training and practicing advanced procedures, as well as learning aircraft systems and their operation.
Understanding the interaction between air and objects, particularly at their surfaces, is key to the design and operation of aircraft. Facilities in this laboratory allow practical measurement which is then augmented by computer-based flow simulation and modelling.
Packed with state-of-the-art software and hardware resources reflecting current trends in the development of engineering & technology subjects.
Mechanical Engineering resources include industry standard hardware and software. Our labs in Stoke are full of exciting equipment for you to use so that you can prepare yourself for the workplace when you graduate.
After completing the Aeronautical Engineering MSc, you’ll be able to apply for a wide range of technical, engineering, analytical, operation or management jobs within the aerospace and airline industries, including:
Eager for more knowledge? Upon completion, you’ll be ideally placed for further academic study at PhD level.

We know that everyone learns differently. So not only do we use traditional ways of teaching like lectures, we also use problem-based learning to help you apply your skills.
For this course, you'll:
Our teaching is supported through our Virtual Learning Environment called Blackboard. This means you can access a range of materials to support your lectures wherever you are.
We’ll also assign you a supervisor to support you throughout your research project.
There are two types of assessments: practice (also called formative) or formal (also called summative).
Practice assessments do not count towards your final mark. These are your chance to test your understanding – and learn how to improve for the real thing.
You’ll have formal assessments at the end of each module this will include a written technical report and an end exam.
Your course tutors will provide lots of support. But you can also take advantage of our Academic Skills team, who can help you with:
If you have additional needs like dyslexia or a sensory impairment, then our AccessAbility Services are here to help make sure nothing stands in your way.
We know that it’s important for you to be able to gauge your progress. So, your tutor will give you feedback on any practice assessment you do. We usually give you feedback on formal assessments within 20 working days, but the format will vary for each module.
Your study time will consist of class contact hours, self-directed learning, assessment and an industry placement (if chosen).
In addition to taught time, you’ll be expected to continue learning independently through self-study. This will involve our Virtual Learning Environment; reading journals, articles and books; undertaking research in the library, and preparing for assessment activities and your dissertation.
Your independent learning will be supported by a range of excellent facilities. These include the library, open access computer facilities, informal learning zones and a range of laboratories.
For the course starting on 16 September 2019 the tuition fees are:
If you would like to know more about the fees listed and what this means to you then please get in touch with our Enquiries Team.
