Duration
4 Years
Aeronautical and aerospace engineering is among the most challenging engineering disciplines, integrating mathematics, physics, materials and computer science with a strong design philosophy. This course will equip you to design, analyse, manufacture and operate aircraft and aerospace vehicles.
You’ll be taught by academics with a passion for aeronautical and aerospace engineering who are at the forefront of their fields. Their strengths and expertise include aircraft structural analysis (ensuring the aircraft is strong enough), structural optimisation (making best use of materials), aerodynamics and computational fluid dynamics (minimising drag and increasing fuel economy), and aerospace systems design and analysis (ensuring stability and control).
An active aerospace Industrial Advisory Board helps inform the development of this course to ensure that it is up to date with industry developments and requirements. This is one of the reasons why our graduates are in demand from industry.
You can choose to take either the four-year Integrated Masters (MEng, BEng) or the three-year Bachelor’s (BEng) degree on this course.

About this course
When you graduate, you’ll be able to apply your skills in a number of areas, including aerospace design and manufacturing in both civil and military environments, fundamental research, airline management and operations, and the space sector. The global aerospace industry drives many future developments in science and technology.
A-level: A*AA including Mathematics and Physics, where the A* must be in either Mathematics or Physics.
Where an A-level Science subject is taken, we require a pass in the practical science element, alongside the achievement of the A-level at the stated grade.
Excludes A-level General Studies or Critical Thinking.
This course is jointly accredited by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.
Accreditation is the assurance that a university course meets the quality standards established by the profession for which it prepares its students. An accredited aeronautical and aerospace engineering course must meet the quality standards set by the IMechE and RAeS.

Course programme
In Years 1 and 2, you’ll study compulsory modules to establish the core mechanical engineering principles required by all branches of mechanical engineering. You’ll also undertake the first year design and manufacture project. Since many mechanical engineers go on to positions where they have management responsibilities, you’ll develop your knowledge of business practices by studying economics and management, taught by the Leeds University Business School.
Specialist aeronautical and aerospace modules form the basis of Year 3. You’ll learn to apply design to different aspects of modern aerospace vehicles, leading to detailed design of different aerospace vehicle systems. You’ll understand the fundamental principles of flight mechanics, stability and control, orbital mechanics and space flight, aerodynamics and propulsion systems, finite element analysis and aerospace vehicle design.
To experience some of these aspects in practice, you’ll also attend a flight course where you’ll be a passenger in a small aircraft, taking measurements of its performance under a range of manoeuvres.
If you take the MEng course, you’ll continue into Year 4 to learn more about analysing structures unique to the aerospace industry. You will be trained to conduct computational fluid dynamics simulations to analyse the aerodynamic characteristics of aerospace vehicles and you will develop a deeper understanding of aerospace systems. There will be a choice of an optional module, allowing you to focus on the scientific principles of design optimization or rotary wing aircraft.
In addition to the taught modules, 50% of year 4 consists of an aerospace-related group project, usually in conjunction with leading aerospace companies that are members of the aerospace industrial advisory board.
