The Master of Engineering in Aeronautics and Astronautics program with a specialization in Spacecraft Engineering at the University of Southampton Malaysia offers students the opportunity to extend their engineering abilities to the realm of space exploration. This comprehensive program covers various aspects of aerospace engineering, including the design, manufacturing, and operation of both aircraft and spacecraft. By specializing in spacecraft systems engineering, students gain the necessary skills and knowledge to pursue a career in the space industry. Throughout the program, students study the general principles of aerospace engineering and then delve into advanced modules focused on spacecraft design, operation, and environmental impact. With individual research projects and group design projects, students develop critical thinking, research, and teamwork skills. This program equips graduates with the expertise to contribute to the field of spacecraft engineering, advancing space exploration and making a significant impact in the aerospace industry.

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 spacecraft systems engineering and design. Your other core modules, will include:

aerothermodynamics
aircraft structural design
aerospace control design
advanced astronautics

You'll choose an optional module from topics including:

experimental methods for aerodynamics
heat transfer and applications
wing aerodynamics

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 spacecraft design. These include:

spacecraft propulsion
orbital mechanics and control
failure of materials and structures
