MSc Aerospace Engineering with Advanced Practice

The MSc Aerospace Engineering (with Advanced Practice) programme taught at Teesside University gives students a higher level of knowledge in aerospace fields while adding a work or research placement component. Students study advanced aerospace structures, fluid dynamics, finite element methods, space mission analysis, trajectory design, sustainability, and supply chain management. The “advanced practice” part extends the master’s by including a vocational or research internship.

This course typically runs full-time over 20 months with advanced practice included. It combines taught modules and the placement/internship. Students will progress through core technical modules before doing the advanced practice component and a major research or project. Teaching uses lectures, labs, tutorials, and simulation/computational work. Students apply theoretical knowledge to real or simulated aerospace problems. Assessments include written reports, design tasks, lab reports, exams, project deliverables, and performance during the internship or research placement.

Teesside University is in Middlesbrough, North East England. It began as Constantine Technical College in the 1930s, then became Teesside Polytechnic, and was granted university status in 1992. The university has strong faculties in Computing, Engineering and Digital Technologies, Health and Life Sciences, Arts and Creative Industries, and Social Sciences and Law. Student life includes active clubs, societies, support services, and campus facilities.

Teesside invests in labs, simulation facilities, and technology infrastructure to support engineering and technical courses. In teaching, Teesside emphasises applied, industry-relevant education. Courses often include live projects, industry placements, research work, and the use of laboratories and simulation tools. The advanced practice MSc in Aerospace Engineering reflects that approach, blending theoretical study with real internship or research experience.
