The Master of Engineering in Aeronautics and Astronautics program with a specialization in Materials and Structures at the University of Southampton Malaysia offers a comprehensive study of the science, engineering, and manufacturing aspects of aircraft and spacecraft. This program focuses on understanding the operation of these vehicles within Earth's atmosphere and in the challenging environment of space. The curriculum covers aerospace engineering principles and advances to more specialized modules in materials, construction, and testing. Students will delve into the field of aeronautical and manufacturing engineering, gaining knowledge and skills related to the selection, analysis, and performance of materials used in aerospace structures. By studying materials and structures, students will develop expertise in designing, constructing, and testing aerospace components for optimal performance and safety. This program prepares students for a successful career in the field of aeronautics and astronautics, specifically in the domain of materials and structures.

Year 1 overview

You'll take an induction programme with all our Aeronautics and Astronautics students. This will give you your first practical experience and the opportunity to get to know your fellow students.

We'll develop your design and programming skills and teach you to build and test engineering systems, components and mechanisms.

You'll also learn manufacturing skills in our workshops so that you can make your ideas a reality.

Core modules include topics such as:

  • aircraft operations and flight mechanics
  • design and computing
  • electrical and electronic systems
  • mathematics
  • thermofluids

Year 2 overview

You'll build on your core knowledge from the first year, and increases your focus on Aeronautics and Astronautics disciplines. Compulsory modules include:

  • aerodynamics
  • astronautics
  • mechanics of flight
  • propulsion

These modules feature hands-on teaching, using facilities such as our wind tunnels, turbojet and rocket engine.

You’ll take a systems design and computing module, and participate in a team project to design, create and test a robot, drone, responsive system or other device.

At the end of the second semester you’ll take a flight test course, in which experiments are performed on board a Jetstream aircraft.

Year 3 overview

You'll deepen your understanding of aircraft design, including their environmental impacts. You'll take a specialist module on Finite Element Analysis in Solid Mechanics. Your core modules, will include:

  • aerothermodynamics
  • aircraft structural design
  • aerospace control design

You'll choose optional modules from topics including:

  • applications of computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
  • finite element analysis

You'll carry out an individual research project using many of the concepts that you've learnt over the previous 2 years. For example, students have investigated how to deflect asteroids, or improve the aerodynamics of race cars to increase their performance.

Year 4 overview

Technical modules can be selected from a list of advanced level topics which focus on materials and structures. These include:

  • failure of materials and structures
  • aircraft structures
  • microstructure and surface characterisation
