Fully accredited, our MEng courses complete your full educational base for Chartered Engineer Status

The MEng Aerospace Engineering with Industrial Experience will provide you with a broad, well-balanced preparation for a professional career in the aerospace industry.

As a graduate from The University of Manchester, you'll be prepared for leadership positions in a successful career in industry. You'll also gain skills useful for work in other areas, such as research, management, technical development and finance. Perhaps you'd prefer to work in areas such as design or development? Or you could end up working in the testing and operation of vehicles and systems.

We'll give you a theoretical knowledge of engineering science, in addition to a solid base of practical skills, an understanding of design, comprehension of the commercial world and competence in transferable skills (problem solving, team working, creativity, adaptability and IT). You'll be taught using interactive learning approaches and using cutting-edge and industry-standard tools.

The additional MEng year combines engineering science taught in previous years into multi-faceted, commercially-realistic projects allowing you to demonstrate your applied skills in addition to your technical skills. Additional specialist units allow you to focus on advanced topics taught by world-leading researchers. The course also includes a year out on placement, working and gaining experience in a relevant industry.

The degree also provides you with an excellent route should you wish to proceed to further postgraduate research.

The sky really is the limit!
