The Master of Research (M.Res.) in Aviation Maintenance degree is a unique program designed to meet the long-standing needs of disseminating research skills to those working with and dealing with the aviation related to all aspects of maintenance. The proposed M.Res. in Aviation Maintenance is for current professionals in the field of Aviation and those with associate knowledge that is needed to be incorporated into research. The University is in a unique position to give those students an avenue to pursue a deep proficiency in this area using an interdisciplinary methodology, cuttingedge courses, and dynamic faculty. Graduates will contribute significantly to the Aviation Maintenance field through the creation of new knowledge and ideas. The M.Res. in Aviation Maintenance program is designed as a degree by research where students will quickly become able to engage in leadership, research, and publishing. It is aimed at those that may want to explore research studies before starting a Doctorate by research. Likewise, those that work in research and want a master’s qualification but in a subject specific to their work. Aviation is becoming more technical and managing this requires higher skills in a larger percentage of the workforce. The university has a significant experience in aviation and aerospace subjects. Four faculty are Fellows of the Royal Aeronautical society and many faculty/adjuncts are members.
