MSc Aeronautical Engineering

MSc Aeronautical Engineering appears only in the CourseFinder export (the sheet’s notes flag its absence from the portal CSVs) and requires a 2:2 honours degree in aeronautical, aerospace or a closely allied engineering field. The curriculum covers advanced aerodynamics and CFD, aircraft structures and finite element analysis, propulsion, flight dynamics and control, and aerospace materials, over a 12-month year with a September 2027 intake recorded in the source.

Analysis toolchains carry the assessment load — commercial CFD and structural codes applied to wing, fuselage and intake problems, validated where feasible against wind-tunnel and laboratory measurement — and the individual project takes on a design or analysis question of certification-adjacent seriousness. The course sits within the same Queens Building engineering school as the mechanical programmes, sharing laboratories and computational infrastructure.

Because the course is present only in the CourseFinder export, this sheet anchors it to the September 2027 intake and £18,600 fee recorded there and flags both for confirmation against DMU’s live pages before student marketing; the entry text’s list of acceptable allied disciplines — mechanical and mechatronic engineering included — usefully widens the recruitable pool beyond pure aerospace graduates.

Career counselling must be direct about structure: UK aerospace is dominated by defence-linked primes whose clearance rules shut out recent arrivals, so international graduates should aim at the civil supply chain, MRO operations and engineering consultancies, at graduate pay near £28,000–£33,000, or carry the credential home to growing Indian and Gulf aviation sectors. The taught degree confers Graduate Route permission — 18 months for applications from 1 January 2027, the prior two-year term only before that — with dependants excluded on taught programmes.
