Aerospace Engineering (with Advanced Practice) MSc

Teesside University

You develop knowledge and key skills in advanced aerospace structures, advanced fluid dynamics, finite element methods, sustainability, space mission analysis and trajectory design, and supply chain management. You have access to our flight simulator, wind tunnel, materials and manufacturing labs, structural test labs and scanning electron microscope. You also learn how to use industry-standard software such as the General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT), NASA’s open-source software, Siemens NX and Ansys Fluent. The General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT) is the world’s only enterprise, multi-mission, open-source software system for space mission design, optimisation, and navigation. The system supports missions’ in-flight regimes ranging from low Earth orbit to lunar, libration point, and deep space missions.There are three routes you can select from to gain a postgraduate master’s award: MSc Aerospace Engineering – one year full time MSc Aerospace Engineering – two years part time MSc Aerospace Engineering (with Advanced Practice) – two years full time The one-year programme is a great option if you want to gain a traditional MSc qualification. The two-year master’s degree with advanced practice enhances your qualification by adding a vocational or research-based internship to the one-year master’s programme. A vocational internship is a great way to gain work experience and give your CV a competitive edge. A research internship provides you with the opportunity to develop your analytical, team-working, research and academic skills by working alongside a research team in an academic setting. We guarantee a research internship, but cannot guarantee a vocational internship. We will, however, provide you with practical support and advice on how to find and secure your own vocational internship position should you prefer this type of internship.
