Aerospace Engineering including an Industrial Year MEng

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.
Spanning five years, our MEng degree including an industrial year will provide you with an advanced understanding of aerospace engineering, with the benefit of gaining hands-on experience during your placement year. You will also have the opportunity to work on a group design and make project in your third year.
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 experiments. These enable students to not only gain a clear understanding of aerospace and engineering theory but also experience of their practical application.
Year three
Year three offers MEng students the opportunity to work together on group design and make 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. These give students the opportunity to specialise in certain aspects of aerospace.
At the end of year three you will spend a year working in industry. You will gain first-hand experience of the exciting challenges that are faced by aerospace engineers, and will significantly enhance your technical engineering skills. During the...
