Aerospace Engineering, BEng (Hons)

This three-year aerospace engineering course provides a solid foundation in essential theories, including propulsion, instrumentation, aerodynamics computation and design, and aircraft control. Students gain hands-on experience building and flying aircraft, develop project management and interdisciplinary communication skills, and tailor their degree toward avionic systems or aeromechanics, culminating in a personalized investigative project and a final-year research project supervised by world-leading academics.Accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society, Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Institution of Engineering and Technology, and Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, the program ranks top 5 for aeronautical and manufacturing engineering (The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024) and top Russell Group university (NSS 2023). Highlights include flying training via private pilot courses or Yorkshire Universities Air Squadron, state-of-the-art facilities for jet engine technologies, industry placements, study abroad, competitions, and the Global Engineering Challenge.
