Aerospace Engineering, MEng (Hons)

Brunel University's Aerospace Engineering MEng is a dynamic, practical programme designed to provide advanced knowledge and management skills for the global aerospace sector. Students begin with core engineering topics such as structures, materials, fluids, mathematics, and technical drawing, then advance to aircraft design, propulsion systems, aerospace structures, and higher-level subjects including aerodynamics, space mechanics, and the analysis of aircraft and spacecraft systems. The curriculum also covers critical issues like flight safety, environmental impact, and fuel efficiency. Access to state-of-the-art facilities, including wind tunnels, flight simulators, and industry software, enhances hands-on learning.The programme includes guest lectures from industry experts, site visits to engineering firms, and opportunities near Heathrow Airport for projects and placements. Accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society and Institution of Mechanical Engineers, it meets the requirements for Chartered Engineer status and can be completed in four years full-time or five with a placement. Students are encouraged to undertake industry placements for practical experience, while extracurricular activities like the Brunel Engineers exhibition and unmanned aircraft challenges foster innovation and networking.
