Master's degrees in Aerospace Engineering are interdisciplinary studies focusing on the design, development, testing and manufacturing of aircraft, spacecraft, satellites, and missiles. During a Master's in Aerospace Engineering, students learn about developing and improving propulsion systems, testing the resistance of various materials and components, and finding ways to make aircraft faster, more efficient, and less polluting.
You should study a Master's in Aerospace Engineering if you've always been fascinated by airplanes, rockets, and how they seem to fly across the sky with such ease. You also need to have an analytical and mathematical mind, and not be scared by complex principles of aerodynamics, thermodynamics, or material sciences.
Most Aerospace Engineering degrees are offered as M.Sc. (Master of Science) degrees, while some are offered as M.Eng. (Master of Engineering). It usually takes 2 years to graduate a Master's in Aerospace Engineering. You can focus on developing your skills in one of the Aerospace Engineering specialisations, such as Aerodynamics, Propulsion, Avionics, Aerospace Materials, Structures, etc.
The courses you'll take during a graduate degree in Aerospace Engineering vary from one university and programme to another. However, you can expect to take classes in Physics, Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Linear Vibrations, Engineering Mathematics, Mechanical Principles, Aircraft Design, Structure, and Materials, etc.
Aerospace Engineering classes help students develop technical and soft skills that range from analytical and problem-solving abilities, to technical expertise, innovative thinking, attention to details, project management and even communication. All these skills are essential for future aerospace engineers, who need to collaborate with their teams and with professionals from other related fields to solve complex mechanical and aerodynamic challenges.
Aerospace Engineering graduates can find various job opportunities in the armed forces, airline companies, aviation authorities, and other fields. Some of the most popular Aerospace jobs are aircraft/spacecraft designer, military aerospace engineer, drafter, aerospace technician, and maintenance engineer.
A career in Aerospace Engineering will also help you work on the latest trends and technologies, like 3D printing, zero-fuel aircraft, advanced materials, or structural health monitoring.
