Postgraduate Certificate - Aerospace Materials

There is demand for engineering graduates with specialist skills to help shape the future aerospace industry. During the Aerospace Materials MSc 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. As part of your learning experience, you will consider sustainable approaches for materials and energy solutions for next generation aircraft and space systems, as well as the impact and requirement for alternative propulsion.

A high proportion of the course is assessed by research, and you will have access to an immense choice of industry-led projects, giving you enhanced exposure to employers and gaining experience in real-world application. You will focus on tools and techniques for managing and selecting materials and will have abundant opportunity for gaining hands on experience with the technology.

Our research centres in Surface Engineering and Precision, Composites and Advanced Materials, and Welding and Additive Manufacturing are integrated into the delivery of the course through our research and teaching teams, who are passionate in sharing their knowledge and experience in materials for aerospace.
