Our accredited course will prepare you for a career as a skilled, creative professional specialising in aeronautical engineering.
We work with industry experts and our accrediting bodies to ensure that you develop the knowledge and skills needed in the workplace.
Working with other engineering specialists on challenging and rewarding projects, and the chance to join our Formula Student team, gives you an experience that mirrors industry. Placements and guest lectures provide valuable professional insight and networking opportunities.
Youll learn with innovative researchers and develop your practical skills using our specialist facilities including a wind tunnel, flight simulators and the Sir Harry Ricardo Laboratories with IC engine test beds.
Our Aeronautical Engineering MEng offers an extra year of study at masters level.
Course structure
You will explore fundamental mechanical engineering topics through a shared first year with our mechanical and automotive engineering courses.
In your second year, you will explore topics that include aerospace fluid and thermal systems, and dynamics and control.
After your second year, you may opt to put your studies into practice on a year-long industrial placement.
In your final year, you will learn business and management skills needed to become a professional engineer and complete an individual project.
Private Pilot studies
This option module is an opportunity to complement your engineering studies with piloting skills by carrying out private pilot licence training alongside your studies. Find out more on our blog post.
Making sure that what you learn with us is relevant, up to date and what employers are looking for is our priority, so courses are reviewed and enhanced on an ongoing basis. When you have applied to us, you’ll be told about any new developments through Student View.
