Aerospace Engineering, BEng (Hons)

Are you passionate about the science of flight and aircraft design and manufacturing? This course, taught by leading aviation researchers, equips you with essential skills and advanced knowledge for a career in the dynamic aerospace sector. Our department maintains strong partnerships with companies such as Airbus, Boeing, and Rolls-Royce Aerospace, offering placement opportunities for practical experience. Enhanced by state-of-the-art facilities and guest lectures, the program provides valuable insights into the expanding aerospace industry.The curriculum features hands-on integrated projects throughout your studies, covering key topics like aerodynamics, avionics, flight mechanics, and human factors. All students begin with a shared foundation in engineering analysis and aircraft technology during the first two years, including design exercises and lab tests. In the final year, you can customize your learning with specialized modules in areas such as aeromechanics, aeroelectrical systems, and general streams, alongside core components in computer modelling, engineering management, and safety.

All students follow a common programme of study for the first two years, studying core material that provides a solid practical foundation in engineering analysis and aircraft technology with hands-on design exercises and laboratory tests. In year three, students will begin their individual research projects as well as undertaking core modules in computer modelling techniques and engineering management, professional practice, certification, safety and reliability. There are also a number of specialised optional modules across the aeromechanics, aeroelectrical and general streams.
