Aerospace Engineering, BEng (Hons)

This course provides a comprehensive foundation in aerospace engineering, emphasizing effective communication across diverse engineering fields. Over three years, students explore core theories and practical applications, including propulsion, instrumentation, aerodynamics design, and aircraft control. As the program advances, learners can customize their studies to focus on avionic systems or aeromechanics, while developing project management skills and completing an investigative project. In the final year, participants engage in a research project under world-leading academics, gaining hands-on experience through building and flying aircraft, as well as participating in national and international competitions.Reasons to pursue this course include its ranking in the top 5 for aeronautical and manufacturing engineering by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024, and top Russell Group status in the National Student Survey 2023. Students can acquire flying experience via private pilot courses or partnerships with the Yorkshire Universities Air Squadron, access state-of-the-art facilities for jet engine technologies, gain real industry exposure through study abroad and extracurricular activities, and participate in the Global Engineering Challenge to solve problems in developing countries, enhancing professional development and career prospects.
