About this course
MEng, BEng in Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering (Industrial), an aerospace engineering degree centred on the development of aircraft and spacecraft. The five-year programme includes an industrial placement year and is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Royal Aeronautical Society. The first year covers foundational principles through Computers in Engineering Analysis, Design and Manufacture 1, Thermofluids 1, and Solid Mechanics. The second year progresses to Introduction to Aerospace Engineering, Engineering Mechanics, Design and Manufacture 2, and Economics and Management. The third year involves modules such as Individual Engineering Project, Aerospace Vehicle Design, Aerodynamics and Aerospace Propulsion, and Aerospace Flight Mechanics. The fifth year concludes with advanced studies including Team Project, Aerospace Structures, Aerospace Systems Engineering, and Spacecraft Dynamics and Control.
