MEng Mechanical Engineering / Aerospace Engineering
Course Overview
This Aerospace Engineering degree provides a comprehensive education in the core principles and advanced systems that define modern flight, from aerodynamics and propulsion to avionics and structural design. You will gain hands-on, practical experience in our design workshops and apply your knowledge to real-world aircraft and spacecraft projects. With a heritage dating back to the 1930s, the course is designed to launch your career in the aerospace, space, or defence sectors.
Key Program Highlights
- Specialize in advanced topics including wing design, propulsion systems, and aerospace manufacturing
- Gain practical, hands-on experience in dedicated design studios and workshops for project work
- Enhance employability through optional industrial placements and studies in management and design
- Showcase your innovations at the annual Engineering Design Show and visit industry establishments
- Benefit from the university's long-standing reputation and status on the Defence Technical Undergraduate Scheme (DTUS)
