Post Graduate Title






Glasgow University Aerial View

The Department offers opportunities for postgraduate study by both research and coursework. Much of our research involves collaboration with outside bodies including DERA (now QinetiQ), GKN-Westland Helicopters, BAE SYSTEMS, US Army and CAA. Sponsorship for home students is often available for PhD level research at Glasgow and help with obtaining scholarships for postgraduate study is often available. In addition, we are the lead organisation for a unique international masters programme in aerospace engineering. The course features modules given at partner institutions in the US such as Stanford, North Carolina and Colorado, and at EU institutions such as Torino and Munich. 
For further information contact: Dr G.Radice
 

Postgraduate degrees by research can be obtained, typically after 2 years (MSc) or 3 years (PhD) study. These degrees are awarded on the basis of an examined thesis containing a contribution to learning. The Department currently has active research groups in Computational Fluid Dynamics, Experimental Low Speed Aerodynamics, Flight Dynamics, Space Systems, Air Traffic Management & Avionics, and Aircraft Design & Structures
For further information contact: Dr G.Radice or the member of staff in the area of interest.
 

The International Masters Programme includes a selection of taught and project based modules (research only at Glasgow) delivered within the International partner group of universities. The course will prepare graduates for future careers within the international aerospace industry - more information can be found at: http://www.colorado.edu/ASEN/IMS
For further information contact: Dr. Ladislav Smrcek
 

The Diploma in Aerospace Engineering requires 9 months of full time study in taught courses and project work. A range of options similar to those offered for the final year undergraduate degrees is normally available. Information can be obtained here
For further information contact: Dr. Marco Vezza
 

Funding for postgraduate study is available from a number of sources. First, University and Faculty Scholarships may be available for PhD study, comprising the tuition fee plus a stipend. Second, outside agencies such as QinetiQ may from time-to-time make funding available to support research on a specific topic with a particular member of staff. Third, research assistantships are sometimes available where a research grant or contract supports a salaried research position. Finally, self-sponsoring is an option.
