Aero-Mechanical Engineering, BEng (Hons)

Aero-mechanical engineering encompasses aerospace systems, aircraft, and diverse fields such as wind energy, automotive systems, and space exploration. At Strathclyde, the program ranks 9th in the UK for Mechanical Engineering (The Times/Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024). Students learn to design critical components like aircraft engines, control systems, and landing gear, while gaining practical skills through student societies including Formula Student and Strathclyde Renewable Engineering Society. Opportunities include manufacturing a remote-control scale aircraft, hands-on flight experience, professional accreditation from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and Royal Aeronautical Society, and options to study abroad.Career prospects are strong, with recent graduates employed by companies such as Airbus, GE Oil and Gas, and Jaguar Land Rover in roles like Aerospace Engineer, Aero-Dynamicist, Design Engineer, Materials Engineer, and Project Manager.
