About program
Aerospace Engineering MEng
You will be taught by academics that are experts in their field and have been at the forefront of progress in several areas, including the Cassini-Huygens mission and the design and development of high-performance jet engines. This, together with the strong collaborations we enjoy with leading companies such as Rolls-Royce, will give you the best launch pad for a successful career.
The Aerospace Engineering MEng course is structured to give you a broad coverage of engineering disciplines appropriate to the current and future aerospace industry and research areas. Key topics include maths, mechanics, fluid mechanics, electronics, flight dynamics, design, and materials science, which provide a basis for aircraft and space vehicle design and operation. Depending on your study choices, you will be supported in gaining the skills necessary to transform the emerging fields of satellite, deep space missions and uncrewed aerial vehicles where remote control and long-distance communications are required.
There is an exciting practical element to the course. You will put theory into practice with flight exercises in a custom-built flight simulator to learn about aircraft handing qualities followed by flights in a real aircraft, specially instrumented to capture flight data.
The interdisciplinary nature of the subject is dealt with by shared modules in all years as well as group project exercises. Students can develop a specialism (e.g. materials or communications) but this is based on broad coverage to enable you to embark upon good careers in the aeronautical and space industries.
You will be the subject expert on a major project during the final year of your degree where you’ll apply your in-depth technical knowledge. In these projects, you’ll gain vital employability skills that will give you a competitive edge in applications forms, interviews and assessment tests for graduate jobs.
There is an opportunity to apply for a year in industry during your degree, usually between Year 2 and Year 3. Academic members of staff will help you to find suitable internships, review your application materials, and assist and mentor you throughout your year in industry. A year in industry is an invaluable opportunity to take on a role within a company, apply the theoretical knowledge of your degree course to real-world issues and will enhance your career prospects. Contact the Admissions Team for further details.
An additional year studying abroad is possible, as well as opportunities to add an intercalated year in Computer Science or Business Studies.
