Master of Engineering (Aerospace)
Chart a new course in aerospace engineering
Aerospace engineers push the boundaries of what is possible. They develop new technologies and materials for aeronautical, space and defence industries.
This intensive degree is suited to high-achieving engineering graduates, as well as engineers with relevant work experience. It is fully accredited by Engineers Australia.
What will you do?
Our Master of Engineering (Aerospace) comprises a foundation year and an advanced studies year. You will:
- take courses in space vehicle design.
- study applied aerodynamics and aeronautical engineering.
- build skills in business and project management.
- pursue specialist topics according to interests and career goals—from Aircraft Design to Fracture Mechanics.
- undertake a significant research project.
To stay in the program, you’ll need to maintain a high grade point average. An exit path will be available if you’re only completing the foundation year. In this case you’ll receive a graduate diploma.
Where could it take you?
You could develop better combat droids, jet engines, or laser-guided weapons systems. You might be an aerospace technician or drafter. Perhaps you’ll plan, build and test robotic systems with artificial intelligence, or engineer the next generation of satellites.
