MSc Aerospace Engineering

The MSc Aerospace Engineering at University of Wales, Swansea provides a systematic understanding of the aerospace industry through aerodynamics, structural mechanics, materials, flight dynamics, and simulation. Students cover design, analysis, testing, and flight for aeronautical vehicles, including propeller-driven and jet-powered planes, helicopters, and gliders. Compulsory modules include Advanced Aerodynamics and Flight Dynamics, Advanced Aerostructures and Aeroelasticity, Advanced Materials and Structural Integrity, and Sustainable and Societal Engineering, plus a Group Project (Aerospace) and an MSc Dissertation - Aerospace Engineering.

The programme mixes theory and hands-on learning. Practical experience is embedded throughout, with access to aerospace facilities, including an advanced flight simulator housed in the School of Engineering. Assessment includes a Group Project (Aerospace) and an MSc Dissertation - Aerospace Engineering, with module timing shown across September-January, January-June, and June-September. The course is available on campus-based study for full-time or part-time routes.
