Introducing your degree
This integrated masters degree programme is aimed at students who are fascinated by spacecraft design, systems and operation. The first two years are identical to the BEng and MEng Aeronautics and Astronautics, where you will gain a solid foundation in aerospace engineering such as aerodynamics, astronautics and propulsion along with a wider appreciation of the economic, legal and environmental issues associated with aircraft operations and aircraft performance.

In the final two years of the course, the emphasis is on system design and the operation of spacecraft. This course offers great flexibility for graduates who wish to keep their options open for careers within the aerospace industry.
