the master of science in aerospace engineering is a fully immersive conversion course for engineering graduates, drawing upon expertise from six departments in the faculties of engineering and science, as well as the university’s management school. there are close ties with some of the world’s leading aerospace companies.

alongside traditional aeronautical subjects such as materials, structures, aerodynamics and propulsion necessary for the design of high-speed flight and lightweight aircraft, students will also study concepts of systems integration and flight control. these are essential to the production of more efficient and environmentally-friendly aircraft and aerospace systems.

graduates will have the opportunity to tailor their studies to suit their individual interests and career aspirations by specializing in either aeromechanics or avionics. the university of sheffield's innovative program of study includes having the chance to design, build and fly an unmanned air vehicle as part of the group design project. students will graduate as a highly knowledgeable aerospace engineering specialist.
