Programme Aims
The programme is designed
Characteristics
The programme allows students to take subjects in various related fields, such as Air Traffic Control, Flight Mechanics, Aircraft Design, and Avionics. Students can also take certain combinations of subjects that lead to an award with specialisation. The unique opportunities offered by the programme help students to develop into highly competent and competitive professionals in the field of aviation and aeronautical engineering.
The mixed mode of study allows students to learn either full time or part time. Local students can vary their study mode from semester to semester according to their personal preferences. This flexibility is not available to non-local students, who are constrained by visa requirements.
The online mode of study is designed for non-local students. In this mode, all teaching activities, including assessment, are conducted online. Students who opt for the online mode are registered as part-time students. No student visas are arranged by the University for 100% online students. They are also not eligible to apply for a visa/an entry permit after graduation under the Immigration Arrangements for Non-local Graduates (IANG) of the Immigration Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
Graduates are equipped with the knowledge and problem-solving skills necessary to excel in high-level careers in aviation and aeronautical engineering and many other related areas.
Programme Structure
The MSc in Aviation Engineering is operated under the Postgraduate Scheme in Engineering (Pg Scheme). Face-to-face mixed-mode students who enrol in the MSc in Aviation Engineering can choose from all free elective subjects available within or outside the Pg Scheme. Students who opt for the 100% online mode can choose only from the list of AAE Core Subjects, unless online subjects are delivered by other programmes offered under the Pg Scheme. Students are informed of the choices available to them during each semester’s online subject registration exercise.
Students can also take specific combinations of subjects to graduate with a specialisation award, as follows:
For the MSc in Aviation Engineering
Students must complete:
For the MSc in Aviation Engineering (Aviation Operations and Management)
Students must complete:
For the MSc in Aviation Engineering (Aeronautical Engineering)
