BEng(Hons) in Aviation Engineering |
MSc in Aerospace Engineering |
Programme Overview
This Fast-track Integrated Programme enables students to earn both a BEng(Hons) in Aviation Engineering and an MSc in Aerospace Engineering within five years. The BEng(Hons) in Aviation Engineering programme equips students with fundamental knowledge in aviation, aeronautical, and aerospace engineering systems, as well as cutting-edge technologies, and provides hands-on experience through state-of-the-art facilities. The MSc in Aerospace Engineering delves into in-depth topics in aerospace engineering such as flight mechanics, aerodynamics, and satellite engineering etc., helping students to develop into highly competent and competitive professionals in the field of aerospace engineering. Students are allowed to take up to 9 credits from their MSc programme during their undergraduate studies, significantly accelerating the completion of the MSc degree.
