About this course
MEng (Hons) in Aerospace Engineering, an aerospace engineering degree focused on mechanical principles, design, and flight systems. Core topics include Research Methods. The course includes a professional placement year in industry, and incorporates practical components such as an airfield visit and a flight test course. The first year introduces foundational concepts through Design, materials and manufacturing 1, Engineering mathematics, Mechatronics, and Thermofluids 1. The second year continues with Control and mechatronics, Design, materials and manufacturing 2, and Solid mechanics 2. The third year consists of a professional placement. The fourth year shifts focus to specialized aircraft topics including Aerodynamics, Aerospace structures, Aircraft performance and design, and a Group design and business project. The fifth and final year concludes with advanced study in Aerospace sciences, Rotorcraft dynamics, and an MEng individual project alongside Project scoping and research methods.
