In Master of Engineering (Honours) in Aeronautical Engineering course, students will be able to specialise in subjects that will be vital to the future of aviation, which go far beyond traditional passenger transport aircraft. There are many exciting challenges facing the sector, from finding environmentally sustainable methods of propulsion to increasing automation that allows unmanned aircraft to complete an ever-increasing range of tasks. This course will prepare them for a career tackling the challenges facing aviation today, and well into the future. In this course, students can study topics such as Autonomous Vehicles, Sensor Fusion, Machine Learning, Noise Control, and Experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics, among many others. These are underpinned by learning the fundamentals of engineering and analysis techniques, equipping them for a career not only in the aeronautical and automotive sectors but many others too. As part of the course, students will gain experience in testing and flight procedures by undertaking a flight test course. This includes up to four flights in an aircraft equipped with a flying laboratory. This course contains modules on Aircraft and Gas Turbine Design too. These allow students to put the theory they have learned into practice as they learn how to produce detailed engineering designs to fulfil specific design briefs. In final year, they will work as part of a team to design an aircraft of the future and work on their own original research project, working to solve a real-world engineering challenge.
