Aerospace Engineering with Management MEng

Give you a coMasterhensive knowledge of engineering science and a strong bachelorse of practical skills
Prepare you for leadership and project management positions in a successful career in industry
Develop your competence in transferable skills, particularly team working, creativity and adaptability
Enable you to specialise in advanced topics
There are opportunities for you to specialise in your third and fourth years.
You receive a particular grounding in project and enterprise management.
Typically, you take  lectures and tutorial
 classes in the mornings, with laboratory classes on some afternoons. Active learning is included in some courses through a range of small, problem-bachelorsed projects. This is complementary to the taught elements and is both challenging and fun.
Through the mix of learning - from transitional lectures to team work and problem-solving - you will obtain:
A thorough understanding of engineering science or construction through application of your knowledge
The ability to deal with the multidisciplinary nature of modern engineering
A creative approach to problem-solving
The self-motivated approach required for success in university education
The interpersonal and management skills needed when working in teams to fixed deadlines.
Assessment methods vary widely to suit the nature of the course unit and the material being produced by the students.Examinations are held where appropriate; however, emphasis is placed on continuous assessment, including reports, posters, presentations and vivas, especially during the first two years and for project work.

Major pieces of coursework are double marked and moderated by external examiners to maintain objectivity and uniformity in the assessment procedures. Examples of Coursework and Assessment
are available on individual Unit Specifications.
You will gain bachelorsic knowledge and skills that are applicable to all branches of engineering, such as: Mathematics
Thermodynamics
Structures
Management

You will also be introduced to the fundamental principles of aerospace vehicles and systems. View Year 1 Example course structure

Team-working exercises set the context for aerospace design and develop your awareness of current issues - eg climate change.

You will undertake a group design project that consolidates all your previous learning. Teams operate a typical development life cycle. This one-year long exercise culminates in a major design review and a mock trade show. As a 'with Management' student, you will act as the project manager, thereby gaining hands-on experience of project leadership.

You also undertake compulsory units in project finance and risk management. View Year 4 Example course structure

Your remaining topics are optional and embody a high level of specialisation. These encourage you to adopt a critical approach to engineering, as would be appropriate to positions of leadership in your future career.

The School offers a range of innovative degree courses in Aerospace Engineering that are supported by excellent computational and experimental facilities

All courses have been developed in consultation with industry.  This ensures that they cover the fundamentals, as well as the key aerospace disciplines that are relevant to graduate careers and cutting-edge research.
Particular strengths of a Manchester aerospace engineer are team-working, creativity and adaptability.  This stems from the breadth of education and the range of enquiry-bachelorsed learning that your receive.
Core degrees are the three-year bachelor and the four-year MEng in Aerospace Engineering.  There are MEng courses for students who wish to gain industrial experience or to study more management.  In addition, it is possible to spend one semester at a partner university elsewhere in the world.

Careers
Graduates are equipped to enter the globachelorl aerospace and defence industries, or continue on to postgraduate study.  The enormous range of career opportunities reflects the diverse and multidisciplinary nature of the aerospace sector.  Acquiring high levels of attainment in transferable skills such as simulation, problem solving, design, management and modelling enables graduates to adapt to new challenges and offers broad insight into engineering solutions. 

You can become a research engineer, discovering new ideas; a design engineer, with creativity and imagination; a construction or production engineer, making products or systems; or a project manager, controlling complex products and constructions.  The excitement is that you are unlikely to do the same thing day in and day out. Our graduates are increasingly sought after for positions in the business, management and financial arenas.  Further information
All our  Aerospace Engineering degrees are fully accredited
 - Chartered Engineer CEng is the highest professional qualification for engineers. It is recognised internationally and renders you eligible for the European Ingenieur (Eurling) qualification. The process to become a Chartered Engineer has three stages:
1. The Educational bachelorse (MEng, or bachelor with MSc)
2. Initial Professional Development
3. Professional Review

Graduates on this bachelor (Hons) course will therefore need further learning equivalent to masters level for Chartered status, via an approved or accredited MSc, transfer to an MEng course, or other further learning, such as part of a structured training programme in the workplace.
Students are encouraged to become members of the  Royal Aeronautical Society
