MSc Aerospace Engineering

The MSc Aerospace Engineering course taught at Teesside University helps students develop an advanced understanding of aerospace structures, fluid dynamics, trajectory design, finite element methods, and sustainability in aviation. Students use wind tunnels, flight simulators, structural labs, and computational software for practical learning. A major project gives students chances to solve industry-relevant problems.

The course is offered full-time over one year (or part-time over two) in most cases. Students take core modules such as Advanced Aerospace Structures, Advanced Fluid Dynamics, and Research and Enterprise. The curriculum builds from foundational theory to applied practice. Students analyse aerospace systems, simulate behaviours, design structural elements, and plan mission orbits.

Teaching methods include seminars, lab work, computational modelling, tutorials, and guided independent research. Students use software tools, run simulations, and engage in laboratory testing. Assessments include project reports, design tasks, lab reports, examinations, and a major MSc project. This project often requires an in-depth investigation of a chosen aerospace problem using research, simulation or experimental methods.

Teesside University is located in Middlesbrough, North East England. It began as Constantine Technical College in the 1930s, later becoming a polytechnic and achieving full university status by 1992. The university comprises faculties such as Computing, Engineering and Digital Technologies, Health and Life Sciences, Arts and Creative Industries, Social Sciences and Law.

There is a Students’ Union, many clubs and societies, support services, and advanced campus facilities In teaching, Teesside emphasises applied, industry-relevant education.

Many programmes include real projects, collaborations with companies, and hands-on labs. Faculty often bring professional experience into classrooms. The MSc Aerospace Engineering reflects this approach through the use of labs, simulation tools, and industry-aligned projects.
