From high-speed vehicles to sustainable aviation, aerospace engineers are driving the future of innovation. Our Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) accredited course equips you to be part of an industry leading the way in cutting-edge advancements - impacting sectors like transport, space exploration and renewable energy.
As the first UK university to offer a degree in this field in 1907, we bring over a century of expertise to help you develop your skills in our world-class facilities. Our state-of-the-art aero lab features wind tunnels, a flight simulator, an anechoic chamber, and a jet engine simulator - giving you hands-on experience to propel your career forward.
Immersed in hands-on learning
Our academic team are experts in all four areas of the field: aerodynamics, propulsion and power, aerostructures, and systems. We also bring in guest speakers from organisations such as Airbus and Altair Engineering. You’ll hear about specific issues, from the effect of pandemics on aviation to modern energy challenges. You'll even have the opportunity to analyse data on a real plane flight - thanks to our links with the National Flying Laboratory Centre.
You’ll start exploring your options and growing your network throughout the course. Our Industrial Liaison Forum day is a chance to impress potential employers as you present your project findings.
