Summary
The Master of Aerospace Engineering (MAerospaceEng) gives you the opportunity to explore and complete research in designing, testing, and building aircraft and integrated systems for the aerospace, aeronautical, and aviation sectors.
Aerospace is a growing sector in Aotearoa New Zealand, with UC uniquely placed in Waitaha Canterbury as the centre hub and testbed for industry.
What will my study involve?- Learn aerospace engineering through taught courses of your choice, covering everything from dynamic atmospheric conditions to autonomous vehicles to rocket design.
- Complete an original thesis with an aerospace engineering topic and stand out as a graduate in industry.
- Use UC's on-campus facilities for experiments, testing, and computations eg, our Structural Engineering Lab, Advanced Manufacturing Lab, wind tunnels, AR/VR suite, and more.
- Build valuable networks with local players in the aerospace industry.
