Individual project
The four-month individual research project can be carried out within
industry or academia. Part-time candidates may undertake this element
of the course in their place of work. This part of the course allows you to
apply the research skills acquired during the taught phase to a practical
problem relating to advanced motorsport engineering.
Group project
The group design project provides teams of students with experience of
working on a project associated with a motorsport organisation.
Students submit a detailed report and at the end of the project, they
present their work to an invited audience. The experience is highly
valued by both students and prospective employers. For part-time
students a dissertation may replaces the group design project.

Aerodynamics MSc
An understanding of the aerodynamic behaviour of aircraft, coupled with knowledge of flow control, flow assessment and simulation techniques will be
essential for the design of the next generation of manned aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). You will begin the year with an intensive period of
flight testing on board the NFLC's Jetstream aircraft. This forms the backdrop for the taught components that cover aerodynamic performance,
aerodynamic design and simulation using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). There is a significant degree of choice in modules covering both
aerodynamics and flight dynamics enabling you to form your own portfolio of skills and expertise. There is an option to take modules related to the
increasingly important areas of CFD and Experimental Methods. Such knowledge can be applied to address technical challenges posed by a wide range
of aerial vehicles ranging from micro-UAVs to large transport aircraft. The Aerodynamics specialisation is intended for those wishing to develop a career in
flight physics and specifically in the fields of flow simulation, flow measurement and flow control.
Course structure
Future Career
A wide range of career paths within aerospace and the military seek
graduates with these skills. Increasingly, these are in demand in other
areas including automotive, environmental, energy and medicine.
Recent graduates have found positions in the aerospace, automotive
and related sectors. Employers include; Airbus; BAE Systems; Onera;
QinetiQ; Rolls Royce; Snecma; Thales; Selex ES; MBDA; Jaguar Land
Rover; Tata; and Triumph Motorcycles.
Individual project
You will select your individual research project from a wide range of
topics offered during the first teaching period. The project is carried out
under the guidance of an academic staff member, who acts as your
supervisor. The individual project often provides an opportunity to
collaborate with industry.
Group project
You will participate in the Group Flight Test Report. This involves a
series of flight tests in the NFLC Jetstream Flying Laboratory which are
undertaken, reported and presented as a group exercise. This enables
you to experience the application of specialist skills within a flight test
environment and apply them to a collaborative assessment, technical
report and presentation.

Future Career
Strategic industrial links ensure that the course meets the needs of the
organisations competing within the computational sector therefore
making our graduates some of the most desirable in the world for
companies to recruit.
An increasing demand for CFD specialists with practical, technical
knowledge within a wide range of sectors has seen our graduates
employed by leading companies including Alstom, BAE Systems,
Rolls-Royce, European Space Agency and Bentley. Many of our
graduates go on to complete PhD degrees, with thesis topics often
supplied by companies with a view to employment after graduation - an
approach that is being actively encouraged by a growing number of
industries.
Individual project
The individual research project is undertaken during May and
September. It allows you to develop specialist skills by taking the theory
from the taught modules and combining it with practical application. The
research project gives you the opportunity to produce a detailed piece
of work either in close collaboration with industry, or on a particular topic
which you are passionate about.

International College at www.kic.org.uk/cranfield
Impressive international rankings for the course of study and its reputation as the
only postgraduate institution in the EU attracted me to Cranfield University. Also,
its collaboration with industry was an important factor. It helped me to develop my
knowledge of business operations and how this interfaces with engineering expertise.
I now have options in the manufacturing and the energy industries, both of which are my
preferred career choices. I found the international environment, as well as the access to
social and extra-curricular activities and facilities fantastic.

Cranfield Alumni

dynamic and unique alumni community. The Cranfield experience
is lifelong , and alumni can expect support from Cranfield through
an extensive range of alumni services which include:
Exclusive online access to the Cranfield alumni directory,

27
Dyslexia awareness
Every year there are several students newly diagnosed with dyslexia.
We urge you to let us know if you are dyslexic (or suspect you may be) at the earliest
opportunity, as the University has a well-established system of support for all students
and you may be surprised at the difference this can make to your studies.
For some UK-based students a Disabled Students Allowance may be available.
However, applications can take time to be processed by the relevant authorities.
Therefore, if you have already been assessed as having dyslexia or other specific
learning difficulties we advise that you bring a copy of your latest assessment to
registration, so that the appropriate support can be implemented immediately.
We offer a range of
disability and learning
support services including:
advice and guidance to students
on support available
Student life can be stressful; you will be studying hard and your expectations will be very
high. In addition, you will be in a new environment, perhaps a new country and probably
away from your family and friends.

I loved the opportunity to spend
time on residential courses where
you can focus on the course, meet
your peer group and enjoy the
learning experience.
I found Cranfield a very mature
environment; academically
rigorous, but good fun at the same
time. The course has brought
serious credibility to my career as
an accident investigator.

1500 a month for couples and more for those with children.

living costs and a budget calculator for international students.
