    About

    Course summary

    • Develop state-of-the-art scientific knowledge in aerospace engineering.
    • Gain the practical skills to solve complex future aerospace challenges.
    • Engage in live projects, numerical modelling and experimental techniques.
    • Address sustainability challenges like decarbonisation and FlyZero-2030.
    • Develop technology expertise in aviation and next-generation space missions.

    This course prepares you for diverse roles in aerospace research and development, manufacturing, product design, testing, modelling, simulating and other commercial engineering enterprises. You’ll engage in professional practice from day one, working on industry-led projects and addressing complex aerospace problems.

    If you don't meet the entry requirements for this course, or you’d like extra preparation before starting degree-level study, we recommend you join the foundation course.

    You could also consider our integrated Masters MEng course. With an extra year to develop specialist knowledge and enhance your research and project-management experience, you gain advanced technical and professional skills to increase your future job prospects. Or, as long as you meet the required academic standards, you could enrol on the BEng and swap to the MEng later.

    This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) for the purposes of meeting, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC.

    This course automatically meets the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).

    Join the next generation of aerospace engineers – gaining the scientific knowledge and practical skills you need to solve challenges at the forefront of air and space transportation.

    Entry Requirements

    UCAS points

    • 112-120

    This must include at least two A levels, equivalent BTEC National qualifications or T levels (to include mathematics (or a mathematics-based subject) and at least one other subject from Physics, Physical Science, Engineering science, Computer Science, Chemistry, Electronics, other Mathematically-based science or technology subject) but excludes general studies. For example:

    • BBC-BBB at A Level including relevant subjects.
    • DDM in BTEC Extended Diploma in a relevant subject.
    • Merit overall from a T level qualification - Must include B from Core and must be an engineering T level.
    • A combination of qualifications which must include relevant subjects and may include AS levels and EPQ.

    You can find information on making sense of UCAS tariff points here and use the UCAS tariff calculator to work out your points.

    GCSE

    • English Language at grade C or 4
    • Maths at grade C or 4

    GCSE equivalents

    • Level 2 Literacy or Functional Skills Level 2 English
    • Level 2 Numeracy or Functional Skills Level 2 Maths

    • Foundation - pass from our Extended Degree Programme Engineering and Mathematics, dependent on academic performance, or from another suitable science or technology foundation course containing an appropriate level of mathematics.

    • Access - an Access to HE Diploma with at least 45 credits at level 3 and 15 credits at level 2. At least 15 level 3 credits must be at merit grade or above, in a mathematics-related programme from a QAA-recognised Access to HE course, or an equivalent Access to HE certificate.

    If English is not your first language, you will need an IELTS score of 6.0 with a minimum of 5.5 in all skills, or equivalent. If your English language skill is currently below IELTS 6.0 we recommend you consider a Sheffield Hallam University Pre-sessional English course which will enable you to achieve an equivalent English score.

    We welcome applications from people of any age. We may be flexible in our normal offer if you can show a commitment to succeed and have the relevant skills and experience. This must show that you will benefit from and finish the course successfully.

    How to Apply

    Apply for an undergraduate degree course

    How to apply for a foundation, top-up or bachelors degree

    For undergraduate degrees, UK applicants need to apply through UCAS, the University and College Admissions Service.

    Undergraduate degrees include:

    • Foundation degrees (FdA, FdEng, FdSc)
    • Top-up degrees (BA, BSc, BENG, LLB)
    • Bachelors degrees (BA, BSc, BENG, LLB)

    Applications open in September for courses starting in October the following year.

    International applicants

    If you are from outside the UK, you can apply direct or through UCAS. To apply direct, please use the online application form.

    Getting started with UCAS

    The first step is to register in the UCAS Hub and start a new application. You can save your application as you go, so you can complete a little bit at a time if you want to.

    We recommend reading UCAS's guide to filling in the application form.

    Your statement and references

    As part of your UCAS application, you'll need to write a personal statement. You might also need to give names and contact details for people who can give you a reference.

    If you're not sure where to start, try our guides to writing a good statement and choosing the right referees.

    Assessing your application

    Our admissions tutors will:

    • check the subjects you're studying
    • check your grades
    • read your personal statement
    • read the references we've received.

    Depending on your course and application, we might also:

    • invite you an interview
    • invite you to submit a portfolio.

    If you are invited to one of these, we'll send you everything you need to know. But if you'd like to know more now, you can read our guides to preparing for an interview and preparing a portfolio.

    Application decision

    After assessing your application, we will contact you with a decision. We usually start to make offers from November through to March, depending on when you applied.
