Students in a aerospace workshop

Taught master's

As technology evolves, climate issues escalate, and the demands of the modern world diversify, our pioneering master’s courses empower you to make a difference.

For 200 years, The University of Manchester has continually solved big problems through innovative Engineering – making us the ideal place to truly deepen your knowledge. Our courses are designed alongside leaders in both international industry and research, providing you with the sought-after skills needed to fulfil growing demands in UK and beyond.

Will you master conflict resolution in MSc Management of Projects, earthquake engineering in MSc Structural Engineering, finite elements in MSc Mechanical Engineering Design, or something else entirely? The difference you make is yours to decide.

Aerospace Engineering

From aerospace design to helicopters and heat transfer – deepen your understanding on our MSc Aerospace Engineering, or further specialise with our Thermal Power and Fluid Engineering or Renewable and Clean Technology programmes.

During your study, you will build on your undergraduate knowledge and experience through a mix of theoretical, experimental, and practical activities. Equipped with an advanced understanding of multi-component design and informed by a unique series of research-led modules, such as autonomous mobile robots and advanced power, you will have the opportunity to specialise your knowledge in your area of interest via your research project.

With teaching delivered by world-leading academics and researchers, supported by state-of-the-art facilities, each of our full-time courses is designed to develop your advanced technical skills. Our extensive global network of links with both industrial and research organisations in this field will provide you with the perfect springboard for your career. Our links with industry include: BAE Systems, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, DSTL, USAF, North West Aerospace Alliance, North West Development Agency, and SBAC.
