MSc Aerospace Structures and Materials

The Aerospace Structures and Materials MSc programme at Queen Mary University of London equips students with the skills and knowledge in the expanding field of Aerospace Structures and Materials production. It focuses on offering insights on the structural integrity of components and structures subjected to normal and extreme working environments encountered in aerospace applications.Course Content: The course offers an in-depth exposure to the versatile field of Aerospace Structures and Materials, focusing on modern composites and the materials used in the aircraft and aerospace industry. It covers important topics such as Load Carrying Structures, Manufacturing of Metallic Structures, which involves a practical understanding of how aircraft structures are built. The course also familiarises students with advanced weight estimation methodologies and modern composite manufacturing techniques. Also, students partake in a large project-based MSc dissertation that can involve lab work, computer modelling, theoretical studies, or even the combination of these aspects.Key Modules: The course includes key modules like Load carrying structures, Manufacturing of Metallic Structures, Advanced Stress Analysis, Advanced Aerodynamics, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Aircraft Structures under Crash Loads, and Engineering Alloys. Accreditations: The Aerospace Structures and Materials MSc is accredited by the Institute of Materials, Minerals, and Mining (IOM3) on behalf of the Engineering Council meeting the requirements for Further Learning for registration as a Chartered Engineer.Future Careers: The course offers a foundation for careers in aerospace, materials, and a range of industries where materials science and the mechanical behaviour of materials are important. Graduates can aspire for roles in aerospace manufacturing, airlines, airworthiness authorities, and other industries that require knowledge on the mechanical behavior of materials.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
