Mechanical Engineering / Aerospace Engineering, MEng (Hons)

This integrated Master's degree builds expertise in aerospace systems while providing a comprehensive foundation in mechanical engineering. The initial two years cover core principles such as mechanical engineering fundamentals, law, management, systems design, and computational modelling, guiding the development of products from concept to market. In years three and four, students focus on aircraft aerodynamics, propulsion, avionics, and structural design, including an individual project in year three and a group design project in year four that applies engineering knowledge to real-world challenges. Access to advanced facilities, like the UK's largest wind tunnel and a 3D imaging centre, enhances learning, and the program is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, offering a pathway to chartered status.Typical modules span foundational topics in years one and two, including engineering design, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and materials. Year three incorporates aerothermodynamics, finite element analysis, and an individual project, while year four features advanced modules like aircraft propulsion, computational fluid dynamics, and a group design project. Assessment combines written exams, coursework, laboratory reports, and oral presentations, ensuring evaluation of experimental, research, and design skills. The course holds accreditation from professional bodies such as the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Engineering Council, affirming its industry recognition.
