**You'll gain both breadth and depth of knowledge across the full range of aeronautical and aerospace engineering. You'll also gain the additional project management experience and practical skills which employers demand on this four-year course.** Launch your career with this four-year masters degree in aerospace engineering – gaining an advanced understanding of essential theories, and hands-on practice building and flying air systems. Years one to three of this course follow the curriculum of our MEng. Working with our leading academics, you’ll learn about propulsion, instrumentation, the computation and design of aerodynamics and aircraft control. By choosing to take an MEng, you’ll be taking a longer period of study with an integrated masters. We’ll teach you how to manage a project from start to finish, and how to communicat with people from a wide range of engineering disciplines. And you will gain the hands-on experience of flying and building air systems from rockets to quadplanes. In year three, you’ll decide whether to focus on avionic systems or aeromechanics, and complete an investigative project of your choice. This sets you up for a fourth year exploring your chosen path in greater detail. From space systems and space weather, to materials and manufacturing, Sheffield’s Aerospace Engineering MEng gives you the advanced skills and knowledge vital to a successful career. **Flying experience** You can gain flying experience through our links with the Yorkshire Universities Air Squadron and the Derbyshire and Lancashire gliding club, provided you fulfil the appropriate medical requirements. **Rocket launch** We are one of the only programmes in the UK where you design, build and launch a rocket as part of the programme. **Accreditation** This course is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Institution of Engineering and Technology and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining. **Why study this course?** * **Project-based learning** - Our system of project-based learning integrates engineering science with practical projects. Throughout the programme you will design, build and fly complex air systems such as drones, rockets and quad planes. These realistic, open-ended problems will make you a better engineer and prepare you for industry. * **Personalised, tailored education** - As a large faculty with many academics, we offer a diverse selection of specialist and advanced optional modules covering the world-leading research we do. You’ll also undertake an individual project giving you the freedom to explore possible solutions to real engineering problems, empowering you to shape your degree by selecting subjects aligned with your interests. * **State-of-the-art facilities** - 'Learning by doing' is the reason The Diamond was built. Dedicated to engineering, with a focus on developing practical engineering skills, this is where you’ll apply the theory you learn in lectures – consolidating your understanding alongside students from other disciplines, and beyond the bounds of the curriculum. There’s also the opportunity to operate jet engines, use flight simulators and carry out experiments in our wind tunnel. * **Personal tutorials** - From day one, your personal tutor will be your regular point of contact for both pastoral and academic support throughout your studies. The small group academic tutorial system strengthens the student-tutor bond and helps you to develop as an independent learner. * **Vibrant student and staff community** - Our excellent ‘student voice’ is consistently recognised and rated highly in the National Student Survey (NSS). Students are encouraged to be involved and have a say in their own education and to work together with staff to improve their aerospace engineering programmes.
