**The 2050 climate change agenda for sustainable aviation and ‘race to space’ requires specialist engineers supporting the drive towards a more sustainable aerospace industry. There is a need for talented employees with materials expertise, to support moving to sustainable aviation fuels, disruptive aircraft and spacecraft designs and transitioning from a carbon-based to a hydrogen-based economy, and a broad range of technical skills.** The MSc in Aerospace Materials develops specialist skills to enhance and design new materials for next-generation aircraft and spacecraft. You will play a major role in addressing environmental impact and sustainability within the sector and gain access to teaching and research geared towards decarbonising aviation. The course will develop knowledge-based skills to open innovation and entrepreneurship opportunities pivotal for long term career prospects and developing clean technology and societal benefit. **Who is it for?** There is a need for engineering graduates with specialist skills to develop new materials for next generation aircraft and the future aerospace industry. During this course you will cover the improvement and development of materials for aviation applications and space systems, including materials for airframe, aeroengine and the increased use of smart and functional materials. **Why this course?** The course combines Cranfield's long-standing expertise for delivering high-quality Masters' programmes in both aerospace and materials. Our courses receive strong support from the global aerospace industry, both the Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) such as Airbus, BA systems, Safran and Rolls-Royce, as well as their tiers of supplier. There is a strong emphasis on applying knowledge in the industrial environment and all teaching is in the context of industrial application. **Informed by Industry** The course is designed to meet the training needs of the aerospace industry and has a strong input from experts in their sector. The Industrial Advisory Board meets during the year to advise on course content, acquisition skills and other attributes which are deemed desirable from graduates of the course. Panel members include professionals from organisations such as BAE Systems, SAFRAN and Rolls-Royce amongst others. **Accreditation** The Aerospace Materials MSc is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), Institute of Materials, Minerals & Mining (IOM3) and Institution of Engineering & Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council as meeting the requirements for further learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). Candidates must hold a CEng accredited BEng/BSc (Hons) undergraduate first degree to show that they have satisfied the educational base for CEng registration.
