Course summary
This degree equips you with skills in the design, construction, analysis and testing of aerospace systems. As an aerospace engineer, you will be a pillar of scientific and technical knowledge in air transport, defence and space, the UK's fastest-growing engineering sectors. Prepare for a career in aerospace engineering and become instrumental in shaping the future of sustainable air transport, communications, security and space exploration. This course offers you high-level knowledge of analysis, design and the operational tools of aerospace vehicles and their systems. We will develop your professional engineering skills over three years, focusing on innovative and sustainable solutions to current and future industry trends. Challenging design projects and an optional industrial placement will enhance your real-world engineering skills and future opportunities. You will develop a strong technical background in key areas of aerospace engineering, including air/spaceship structure, propulsion, control and manufacturing. Sustainable life-cycle engineering skills will be integral to your learning.
