Program Description
This Teesside University course offers students an advanced level of study in specific aspects of aerospace engineering which is in continuous demand from industry.
Students develop knowledge and key skills in advanced aerospace structures, advanced fluid dynamics, finite element methods, research and enterprise, space mission analysis and trajectory design, and supply chain management.
Students have access to Teesside's flight simulator, wind tunnel, materials and manufacturing labs, structural test labs and electron microscope. They also learn how to use industry-standard software such as the General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT), NASA’s open source software. The General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT) is the world’s only enterprise, multi-mission, open source software system for space mission design, optimization, and navigation. The system supports missions’ in-flight regimes ranging from low Earth orbit to lunar, libration point, and deep space missions.
The two-year master’s degree with advanced practice enhances students' qualification by adding a vocational or research based internship to the one-year master’s programme.
