MEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies with Placement Year
Course Overview
This integrated Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering provides a comprehensive education in fundamental engineering principles, advanced aircraft design, and practical flight training. The course combines rigorous academic study with hands-on projects, including competitive model aircraft challenges and access to real flight experiences. Students graduate with a strong theoretical foundation, industry-ready skills, and valuable experience from potential work placements or international study.
Key Program Highlights
- Hands-on flight training and the opportunity for a Flight Experience course in the USA
- Practical CDIO modules involving the design, build, and competition of model aircraft
- Major third-year group project to design and test fly a full-size aircraft on a flight simulator
- Final-year multidisciplinary team project tackling challenges like designing a UAV for Mars
- Option to enhance your CV with a work placement or study abroad year between years two and three
