Aerospace Engineering, BEng (Hons), with study abroad

An Aerospace Engineering degree at Swansea University offers expert training in the theory and operation of aeronautical vehicles, including jet-powered planes, propellers, gliders, and helicopters. Students explore the full engineering process from concept development to flight operations, covering design, analysis, testing, and flight mechanics. This multidisciplinary program provides real-world insights into atmospheric and cosmic environments, supported by advanced facilities such as the Merlin flight simulator, MP500-2 simulators, a £1.2 million wind tunnel, a JetCat P120 engine, and cutting-edge aerodynamic software.Practical experience includes state-of-the-art flight simulations, flying lessons at a local airport, and a flight test course on aircraft performance and control using a Jetstream aircraft. The curriculum typically encompasses modules like Dynamic Systems, Aerodynamics, and Propulsion, with an industrial placement in the third year. The program is accredited by professional bodies, including the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Royal Aeronautical Society, ensuring industry recognition.
