Year 1 provides an introduction to aerospace engineering under Professional Practice, and will underpin the skills and knowledge required for further specialised study. You will study a mix of analytical subjects, such as mathematics, structures, dynamics, electronics, thermodynamics and engineering applications, alongside an introduction to the profession of engineering.

Year 2 will introduce you to specialised topics in aerospace engineering such as aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, dynamics and materials. It includes further study of mathematics, electronics, control and computing. A design-orientated module (Aerospace Engineering Design and Project Management) will apply the principles taught in the other modules to problems of aerospace design.

In Year 3, you will deepen your knowledge of specialised aerospace engineering subjects and will broaden your expertise in other areas of engineering. BEng students undertake a major group design project and an individual research project along with business and management as well as further and more in depth studies of aerodynamics, propulsion, structure, materials and dynamics including applied computational techniques widely used in industry. MEng students have the opportunity of integrating industrial placement with further studies using a combination of work-based learning as well as blended and distance learning (subject to accreditation by RAeS).

Year 4 of the MEng course includes a multidisciplinary group design project that helps to integrate and apply your academic knowledge, develop your teamworking and communication skills, and increase your understanding of real-world engineering issues.

About this course

Our aerospace engineering degrees combine an innovative curriculum with excellent industry links and cutting-edge facilities.You study a mix of:
analytical subjects – including maths, electronics and thermodynamics;
engineering applications;
an introduction to the profession of engineering;
specialist topics – such as aerodynamics, propulsion, electronics, control and computing; and
aircraft design.
The course has a strong practical element, giving you real-world examples to work on. We have a Lear Jet and the cockpit of a 747 in our labs, for example. Other state-of-the-art facilities include:
a flight simulator;
a wind tunnel; and
a ground maintenance simulator.
We also have a range of computer software, including AutoCAD, which we use for the design elements of the course.
Field trips allow you to compare the structures of different aircraft and see the real-world flight characteristics of small aircraft.
You have the chance to build a year working in industry into the course, which gives you a career head start.

You will have the opportunity to study a foreign language, free of charge, during your time at the University on a not-for-credit basis as part of the Kingston Language Scheme. Options currently include: Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

Points: minimum 112.
A Levels: from three A Levels to include Maths and Science Subject (Physics, Chemistry, Biology). General studies and Native Language are not included in tariff points.
BTEC National: Extended Diploma in Engineering or related subject (Aerospace/Aeronautical/Electrical/Electronic/Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering considered) – 128 points (grades DDM) if Engineering; 144 points (grades DDD) if Applied Science.

The Aerospace Engineering MEng course is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society for 2018 entry and satisfies, in full, the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) and Incorporated Engineer (IEng) registration.

The Aerospace Engineering BEng(Hons) course is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society for 2018 entry and satisfies, in part, the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) registration and in full, Incorporated Engineer (IEng) registration.
