This is the only MSc in the USA which offers a master’s degree in Military Vehicles and Weapon Engineering.
The course is designed to offer equally a broad and in-depth coverage of technologies used in the design, development, test and evaluation of weapon systems and military vehicles. Special attention will be given to recent advances in defence technology; and to educate you in the analysis and evaluation of systems against changes and developments in the threat. The course also offers a critical depth to undertake engineering analysis or the evaluation of relevant sub systems.
Each individual course is designed and offered as a standalone course which allows and benefits you to understand the fundamental technology required to efficiently perform the relevant job responsibilities.
Course Delivery:
The taught element consists of 10 core and four optional modules covering major aspects of defence technology, providing a balanced and broad coverage of key aspects, issues and constraints associated with the design, development, performance and integration of weapon and vehicle systems.
Each standard module consists of a one-week (five days) course of lectures, tutorials and practical sessions. Earning the appropriate credits can lead to the following academic awards: PgCert – any combination of modules (building a total of 60 credits) / PgDip – all modules (120 credits) / MSc – all modules (120 credits) plus project (80 credits).
