MSc Aerospace Engineering with Extended Professional Practice

The MSc Aerospace Engineering with Extended Professional Practice at the University of Hertfordshire is a two-year full-time master’s degree that prepares you for a job in aerospace.  You study how planes fly, engines, aircraft design, and space technology. You get to use proper equipment like wind tunnels, flight simulators, and a model aircraft cabin. 

The course lasts two years. In the second year, you do a 36-week work placement in a real aerospace company. Some placements are paid, while others are not. You learn through normal lessons, small group tutorials, practical work in the labs, group projects, and talks given by people who already work in the industry. 

Your work is marked with exams, written assignments, lab reports, presentations, and a big final project that is usually connected to the company where you did your placement. It is a very practical course that gives you real experience and helps you get a job in aerospace when you finish.
