This four-year degree combines years one, two and four of our MEng Aerospace Engineering with the chance to spend your third year at an English-speaking partner university abroad.
The first two years cover underpinning material organised into three streams:
- aerodynamics
- dynamics and control
- structures and materials.
These subjects are specialised from year one and are taught with aerospace applications and examples.
You will also learn skills that cross all three streams, such as computing, systems engineering and design.
If you achieve the required grades in your first two years and are selected, you will spend your third year at a partner institution abroad, for example in Sweden, Netherlands, the US, Singapore or Australia. Your third-year studies will be equivalent to a third year at Bristol. To find out more about studying abroad, visit Global Opportunities.
You will re-join the course in Bristol for your final year and will choose from a range of topics. Some options relate to particular application areas, such as helicopter aerodynamics, space systems or wind power. Others study particular technologies, such as composites analysis and experimental aerodynamics, or you can choose to undertake a research project.
This degree combines the challenging, broad academic content of all our courses with an overseas dimension that reflects the multinational nature of the modern aerospace industry.
