SESA3043 2028-29
Advanced Aeronautics
Advanced Aeronautics further develops student’s knowledge in aerodynamics as applied to fixed wing aircraft and rotorcraft beyond the level achieved in Part II Aerodynamics, focusing on the application of basic fluid dynamics principles to flow over external aerodynamic surfaces. This includes methods to calculate the potential flow outside the boundary layer as well as method to calculate the boundary layer itself, with understanding of laminar and turbulent boundary layers as well as the process of transition to turbulence. These methods were applied to wings and rotorcraft dynamic analysis. -

SESA6085 2028-29
Advanced Aerospace Engineering Management
This module will provide students with the skills and knowledge to model and manage reliability, risk, uncertainty & security at both the project and business level while educating students on their responsibilities to be both ethical and inclusive engineers. A combination of lectures, tutorials and real world case studies will be used to provide students with practical experience of these topics and illustrate their importance in modern engineering. -

SESA3047 2028-29
Advanced Aerospace Mechanics And Control
This module introduces advanced concepts of aerospace mechanics, dynamics and control.
The main focus is on dynamics, modeling and control of systems that have multiple degrees of freedom. The first part of the module aims to express the 3 translational and 3 rotational degrees of freedom of aircraft and spacecraft into a set of linearised ordinary differential techniques. The second part of the module analyses the linearised systems to identify the natural modes of motion for aerospace vehicles and their stability characteristics. The third part of the module introduces feedback control strategies that push aerospace vehicles towards desired performance criteria, e.g. reference tracking, improved stability, etc.
The lectures are complemented by computer-based laboratory sessions covering all relevant practical aspects on the analysis and design of closed-loop control systems. -
SESA2030 2026-27
Advanced Aerospace Systems Design
The SESA2030 Systems Design and Computing module integrates practical and theoretical learning through lectures, tutorials, and hands-on prototyping exercises. It challenges students to collaboratively address mechatronic engineering design problems. This approach enables students to apply theoretical engineering knowledge in practical contexts while further enhancing their interpersonal and communication skills.
The core assessment for this module is a team-based, detailed mechatronic engineering design project. Students are given the opportunity to select their preferred projects in Semester 1.
These projects are designed to promote the application of Part 1 and Part 2 engineering and computing competencies within a single, practical engineering design project. Assessment milestones are distributed across both semesters, requiring teams to collaborate effectively under tight deadlines. Students must deliver both theoretical and practical prototyping solutions in engineering design and computing.
Student teams will defend their design process and final prototype during a detailed design viva. They will also demonstrate the functionality of their prototype in an appropriate indoor or outdoor environment. -

Advanced Aesthetics: Aesthetic Creativity
W.B. Yeats writes 'The Second Coming'. Jean Sibelius composes his seventh symphony. Paul Cezanne paints his tenth picture of Mont Sainte-Victoire. All three are clearly acting in artistically creative ways; but how should we understand what they do, what their creativity consists in? Is it a matter of inspiration? Or is it a matter of rationality? Or perhaps of self-expression? Or even of trial-and-error? Indeed, should we regard these suggestions as alternatives to one another, as if at most one of them might be true?
These are the issues that this module explores. Drawing on writings from Plato to Kant, from Nietzsche to the present day, the aim is to explain and assess some of the most philosophically significant answers to the question: What is artistic creativity? -

SOES6098 2030-31
Advanced Analytical Methods for Earth and Environmental Scientists
This module will introduce you to the advanced analytical laboratory and field skills required to be a modern analytical Earth and environmental scientist. The geochemical analysis of natural and anthropogenic materials is an essential part of many regulatory requirements and underpins many cutting-edge questions in both research and industry, from understanding our past climate, to monitoring of pollution, and finding new resources to power the green energy revolution. This course - condensed into a weeklong summer school - is a mix of local field work, lectures on analytical techniques and data analysis, and hands-on laboratory work using our cutting edge Geochemistry Laboratories (CERAS). By the end of the course, you will have the skills required to kick-start a career in analytical geoscience.
