Aerospace Engineering, MEng (Hons)

Aeronautical and aerospace engineering ranks among the UK's fastest-growing sectors, offering diverse career opportunities in research and development, testing, and maintenance. This course equips students with essential knowledge, extending beyond traditional aerospace limits to explore future flight technologies, including innovative propulsion systems and drone advancements.Sustainability is a critical concern for engineers, given the short lifespan of many products. Thus, the curriculum emphasizes sustainable design principles that promote the reuse, repurposing, and recycling of materials and components, featuring a dedicated first-year project and a final-year module. Students learn from experienced lecturers and researchers with extensive industry backgrounds, engaging in live projects, guest lectures, and company visits to stay abreast of current trends. The program is recognized by the CDIO framework, which fosters project-based learning focused on conceiving, designing, implementing, and operating real-world systems.
