Master of Engineering in Aeronautical Engineering with a Year Abroad

The Master of Engineering in Aeronautical Engineering with a Year Abroad in Engineering and Technology is offered by Imperial College London.

Program Length: 5 YEARS.

Master of Engineering in Aeronautical Engineering with a Year Abroad offered by the Imperial College London at the Faculty of Engineering

Enrich your study of Aeronautical Engineering with a year abroad in this professionally accredited, integrated Master's degree.

This professionally accredited course aims to provide you with a broad base of engineering, computational and analytical skills, as well as the specific knowledge and experience required for careers in the aeronautical industry.

You also have the chance to complete an integrated year abroad at one of our partner universities in Europe, or in Singapore or the USA.

Study programme
The first two years are the same across all of our Aeronautical Engineering courses. You will develop a strong grounding in the three disciplinary pillars of aerospace engineering; aerodynamics, lightweight structures and structural mechanics, and flight mechanics and control.

Year two includes further specialised aeronautical material such as mechatronics, flight mechanics, propulsion and turbomachinery, plus the chance to attend a flight testing course at the National Flying Laboratory Centre at Cranfield University.

Both years include laboratory-based coursework plus design, make and test exercises to develop your design and analysis skills.

In your third year, you will be able to tailor your studies towards areas you are interested in within aerospace and related disciplines. You will have a choice from a wide collection of optional modules alongside some core modules. The option to choose modules in other Engineering Departments is also available.

A group project in year three gives you the chance to simulate the work of a design team to take a design concept through the different stages of feasibility. Working in design teams, you are tasked with developing a particular design concept to the stage where feasibility has been fully explored. Recent examples include a manned mission to Mars and an electric race car.

Your study reaches Master’s level in the fourth year and will be carried out abroad at one of our partner Institutions.

There you will be able to select from a variety of level-appropriate modules and must complete an individual research project in your chosen area of research, working with one of the host university’s researchers and academics and their research group.

Year abroad
The fourth year consists of an agreed programme of study at an approved university in either France, Germany, Singapore or the USA. We currently have exchange agreements with:
  • Ecole Centrale de Lyon, France
  • ISAE-SUPAERO, France
  • Rheinisch-Westfalische Technische Hochschule, Germany
  • National University of Singapore
  • University of California, USA
This is an integrated year abroad so the grades you achieve will count directly towards your Imperial degree.
