MSc Aerospace Vehicle Design

... United Kingdom
... Cranfield University

Course Overview

Cranfield has been at the forefront of postgraduate education in aerospace engineering since 1946, with the Aerospace Vehicle Design program being one of the original foundation courses of the College of Aeronautics. Graduates from this course also become members of the Cranfield College of Aeronautics Alumni Association (CAA), an active community that holds several networking and social events throughout the year.

You can fly during a Student Experience Flight in our National Flying Laboratory Centre’s (NFLC) light aircraft. This flight experience will complement your MSc studies, focusing on the effects of controls, aircraft stability, and angle of attack. During the flight, you will have the opportunity to take control of the aircraft. Each experience is 2 to 3 hours long and includes a pre-flight safety briefing outlining the details of the maneuvers to be flown, a flight of approximately 1 hour, and a post-flight debrief. Read Hari's blog on his flight experience.

One unique feature of the course is that we have a range of external examiners from industry and academia who continually assess the system's quality.

Cranfield University is very well located for students from all over the world and offers a range of library, IT, and support facilities to support your studies. This enables students worldwide to complete this qualification while achieving the right balance of work/life commitments.
