Aerospace Engineering, BEng (Hons)

The BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering programme has been developed to address the growing need for skilled aerospace engineers, incorporating insights from regional industry partners. Accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), it equips students with essential industry-relevant skills and attributes to become future technical experts and leaders. In the first year, students build a strong foundation in aerospace principles, including materials, manufacturing, stress, dynamics, energy, and thermodynamics. The second year allows specialisation through pathways in systems, design, and manufacturing, complemented by hands-on experience in state-of-the-art laboratories.Students enhance their industry knowledge through factory tours, professional briefings from leading organisations, and placements with partners such as Airbus, Rolls-Royce, GE Aviation, and Leonardo Helicopters. This prepares graduates for dynamic roles in the aerospace sector, including the design and production of civil and military aircraft, helicopters, and jet engines. The programme is also recognised by professional bodies like the Engineering Council and the Royal Aeronautical Society, ensuring the qualification's industry-wide credibility.
