    About

    Course description

    Why study this course?

    Top 5 for aeronautical and manufacturing engineering

    As rated by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024. We're also the top Russell Group university in the National Student Survey (NSS) 2023.

    Learn to fly

    Gain flying experience either through our private pilot instruction courses, or through our links with the Yorkshire Universities Air Squadron.

    State-of-the-art facility

    Access a high quality laboratory education in a unique and state-of-the-art facility, including the opportunity to operate and examine jet engine technologies.

    Real industry experience

    We’ll help you find opportunities to study abroad, get industry experience and take part in a full portfolio of activities in air and space systems. Extracurricular activities also include entering national and international competitions.

    Global Engineering Challenge

    Join teams of students to solve engineering problems in developing countries – pushing you to develop you as a professional engineer and enhancing your career prospects.

    Launch your career with this exploration of aerospace engineering theory, and hands-on practice of building and flying aircraft.

    If you don't have the usual scientific or mathematical background for an engineering degree, a foundation year is for you. After successfully completing the foundation year, you can start a BEng or MEng degree.

    From a solid base of essential theories, you’ll explore propulsion, instrumentation, the computation and design of aerodynamics and aircraft control.

    As you progress, you’ll tailor the degree to match your career path – choosing to focus on either avionic systems or aeromechanics, and completing an investigative project of your choice.

    We’ll teach you how to manage a project from start to finish, and how to communicate with people from a wide range of engineering disciplines. In your final year, you'll work on a research project led by one of our world leading academics.

    Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to fly and build aircraft, take part in national and international competitions, and ultimately graduate with the hands-on experience you need to progress in the aerospace industry.
