Aerospace Engineering, MEng (Hons)

An Aerospace Engineering degree at Swansea University provides comprehensive training in the theory and operation of aeronautical vehicles, including jet-powered, propeller-driven aircraft, gliders, and helicopters. Students explore the entire engineering process, from initial concepts to in-flight handling, with a multidisciplinary approach that offers real-world insights into planetary atmospheres, space exploration, and supporting technologies. Key facilities include the Merlin flight simulator, MP500-2 static simulators, a £1.2 million 18-metre wind tunnel, a JetCat P120 engine, and advanced aerodynamic software.Practical experiences encompass state-of-the-art flight simulations, flying lessons at a local airport, and a flight test course on aircraft performance, stability, and control using a Jetstream twin turboprop. Typical modules span dynamics, aerodynamics, and propulsion across years, culminating in advanced topics for MEng students. The program is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society, Institution of Mechanical Engineers, and Institution of Engineering Designers, ensuring industry recognition.
