Why choose this course?

Our MSc Engineering (Aeronautical) programme will enable you to develop a deep understanding and solid skills in applied aerodynamics and flight mechanics.

Aircraft aerodynamics and flying and handling performances are always the most important and challenging aspects of aircraft designs, particularly with the consideration of advanced materials and advanced aircraft technologies.

You will grasp detailed knowledge and critically analyse aircraft flight dynamic behaviour and apply modern control approaches for aircraft stability.

You will have access to a state-of-the-art Merlin flight simulator for designing and testing your own aircraft.

Learn and use cutting-edge design, analysis, and simulation software such as ANSYS.

Wrexham Glyndwr University is located nearby to one of the largest aircraft companies in the world, Airbus.

Close links with aviation industries, such as Rolls-Royce, Raytheon, and Magellan Aerospace.

Teaching & Assessment

The programme is informed and guided by the Active Learning Framework (ALF), which incorporates a blended learning approach. This approach is a key part of the delivery and involves teaching, learning support, and the delivery of online sessions. The embedding of ALF provides students with a more flexible approach to their learning and is fundamental in giving all students equal opportunities to succeed.

The learning and teaching methods adopted to reflect the QAA Master’s degree characteristics descriptors in the following ways:

a.

Lectures are used to impart key information and showcase new ways of working which will enable students to develop a sound understanding of the principles of their field of study as well as identify new ways of working.

b.

Case studies, role plays, and group work will be used to facilitate the application of the principles more widely. They will also be used to prompt discussion and practise problem-solving skills. This will also allow students to evaluate the appropriateness of different approaches to solving problems.

c.

The use of portfolios facilitates reflection on the qualities necessary for employment, requiring the exercise of personal responsibility and decision-making. Additionally, they will allow students to identify the limits of their knowledge and skills and identify strategies for development.

d.

Assessments are used to facilitate learning as well as to provide an indication of student achievement.

Career prospects

The MSc Aeronautical Engineering programme facilitates the needs of a range of diverse industries at local, national, and international levels, to provide them with potential future employees of the highest calibre. The programme has been devised to give you opportunities to demonstrate your relevant technical expertise, innovation, commitment, and sound judgment.
