Taught in a school with over 100 years’ experience in Aeronautical Engineering, great facilities and world leading academics, find out more about what this exciting programme can offer you.
Queen Mary has been teaching Aeronautical Engineering for over 100 years and was the first university to establish an Aeronautical Engineering degree in 1908.
The MSc Advanced Aeronautical Engineering and Space Systems, previously MSc Aerospace Engineering sits at the forefront of innovation in aerodynamics. This programme is taught within the division of Aerospace Engineering and Fluid Dynamics in the School of Engineering and Materials Science.
The programme builds on your existing expertise by giving you advanced skills in computational modelling, numerical techniques and an in-depth understanding of engineering approaches to current aerospace problems.
Over the course of the programme, you'll have the flexibility to specialise in one of several highly-sophisticated fields, such as space engineering, flight control and simulation, aeroelasticity, computational fluid dynamics, advanced aerodynamics and computational mechanics.
You’ll gain the skills necessary to work in the aerospace engineering industry, whether as a researcher or as an engineer for a major aerospace company. You will also collaborate with researchers working on alternative fuel sources, future-proofing your career by keeping you at the forefront of innovation in this sector.
Supervised by one of our world-leading research staff, you'll be integrated into one of our research teams and work on an aerospace engineering-related project. You’ll have access to our excellent facilities, enabling you to conduct cutting edge research that can lead to publication at scientific conferences and in peer-reviewed journals.
The research project forms a major component of your degree. You’ll complete this under close supervision.Recent research projects include:
