COURSE CURRICULUM

The MSc Propulsion and Engine Systems Engineering program offers a comprehensive blend of core and optional modules designed to build advanced expertise in propulsion, energy systems, and mechanical engineering. Core modules include Advanced Electrical Systems, which introduces power systems, electrical machines, and power electronics for applications such as renewable energy and electric vehicles. Aircraft Propulsion and Automotive Propulsion focus on the design, performance, and sustainability of gas turbines and automotive engines, respectively. The Introduction to Advanced Mechanical Engineering Science module provides foundational knowledge across key engineering disciplines, while Research Planning and Management develops essential skills for conducting professional research. The MSc Research Project allows students to undertake independent research on a relevant propulsion or energy topic, applying analytical, experimental, and computational methods. Optional modules enable students to tailor their studies toward specialised areas such as Advanced Sensors and Condition Monitoring, Spacecraft Propulsion, Applications of CFD, Fuel Cells and Batteries, Tribology for Future Mobility, Thermo-Fluid Engineering for Carbon Capture, and Materials for Transport Applications. These electives cover emerging technologies and sustainability-focused topics, equipping graduates with the technical and research skills needed to address modern challenges in propulsion, energy efficiency, and mechanical system innovation across aerospace, automotive, and energy sectors.
