This integrated master’s course combines aircraft engineering with a pilot-informed understanding of flight operations, preparing you to analyse, test, and evaluate aircraft as complete technical and operational systems. You will learn how advanced engineering decisions influence aircraft handling, performance, safety, and operational decision-making in real flight environments.

Similar to the BEng programme, you start with building strong foundations in aerodynamics, structures and materials, propulsion, avionics, flight dynamics, and control, before progressing into an advanced final year focused on professional engineering practice. In this additional year, you will develop high-level skills in CFD, FEA, aircraft noise/vibration, flight handling qualities, flight testing, airline and airport operations, and aerospace systems design.
