The Master of Science in Unmanned Aircraft System Technology prepares future professionals with comprehensive expertise to safely and lawfully design, build, and operate Small Unmanned Aircraft (SUA) weighing up to 20kg maximum takeoff mass in the UK.
Commonly known as drones, SUAs are transforming civil applications across industries, with this rapidly expanding sector projected to generate billions in revenue within the next decade. These systems are reshaping practices from agricultural monitoring to cinematic production, while enabling advanced data collection for diverse research and operational needs.
This program tackles the current expertise gap in this emerging field, welcoming students from all academic backgrounds seeking to integrate drone technology into their studies, as well as professionals from any sector, whether employed or entrepreneurs.
Acquire competencies in data collection and analysis across multiple disciplines, master the regulatory and safety protocols for sophisticated drone usage, and gain hands-on experience in mission planning and real-world operations.
Practical flight training will be delivered through our specialized drone simulator and conducted at our exclusive outdoor testing facility.
