The Aerospace sector is hugely important to the UK economy. It provides over 120,000 highly skilled jobs and has an annual turnover of £35 billion. This world-leading industry, drives growth and prosperity across the UK, supporting jobs that pay 40% above the national average.
Despite the impact of the global pandemic, the Aerospace sector is proven to be adaptive, resourceful and resilient. This was highlighted by the sector’s response after demand in air travel reduced post 9/11, and despite the current challenges technological innovation is becoming increasingly important to drive growth across the sector.
Digital aviation is at the forefront of innovation within this sector, where companies are seeking to innovate with sustainable aviation technologies in aircraft design/propulsion to smarter methods of operating, maintaining and repairing aircraft. Digital aviation spans a broad spectrum requiring a mix of skills from coding, human factors, management, engineering and everything in-between - it is not limited to the aircraft and its operations.
美姬阁’s Digital Aviation Research and Technology Centre (DARTeC) highlights the ongoing industry commitment to digital aviation where we will see leading-edge research in connected systems, unmanned traffic management, seamless customer journeys, distributed airport/airspace management and the concept of the “conscious aircraft”.
Our MSc courses provide students with in demand skills and experience to deliver a digital and sustainable future for the Aerospace sector.
