About the course

If you like challenges and problem solving and relish the idea of combining science, maths and engineering to develop new technologies, processes and materials for the aerospace industry, then this Aerospace Engineering BEng degree is for you. 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 BEng 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. Our students have won prestigious industry contacts. A group of our 4th year students won the Royal Aeronautical Society's Light Aircraft Design Competition 21-22 and made a video about their project.
