Our BEng degree will provide you with the engineering knowledge and skills needed to succeed in the growing aerospace industry.
Links with giants such as Boeing, Rolls-Royce Aerospace and Airbus coupled with our teaching, research and new aerospace facilities, will bring the industry to life for our undergraduate students.
This degree has three taught years and students following this route will probably need to complete some further study should they wish to become chartered engineers. For some students, especially those from overseas, the preferred route is to do our BEng course and then stay on to complete an MSc degree.
Years one and two
All students follow a common programme of study for the first two years, studying core material that provides a solid practical foundation in engineering analysis and aircraft technology such as propulsion and aerodynamics and engineering design and analysis.
Year two continues to develop engineering analysis tools but also develops more specialised topics, such as the mechanics of flight and aircraft electrical power systems.
Key to these first two years is a systems approach with hands-on design exercises and laboratory tests. These enable students to not only gain a clear understanding of aerospace and engineering theory but also experience of their practical application.
Year three
In year three, students will be begin their individual research projects as well as undertaking core modules in engineering management and public engagement and certification, safety and reliability.
There are also a number of optional modules across the AeroMechanics, AeroElectrical and general streams including Spacecraft, Avionic Systems and Advanced Aircraft Propulsion Systems which gives the students the opportunity to specialise in certain aspects of aerospace.
