About this course
MEng in Aerospace Engineering MEng, an aerospace engineering degree covering aircraft and spacecraft design, systems, and materials. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture, Embedded Systems, Control Systems, Data Analysis, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Research Methods, Project Management, Engineering Design, Critical & Analytical Thinking, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. This four-year degree provides comprehensive training in aeronautical systems alongside practical project management experience. The first year establishes fundamental technical knowledge through compulsory modules such as Aerospace Design 1, Avionic systems and control, Aerospace Materials 1, Aerospace Statics and Thermofluids, Mathematics (Electrical and Aerospace), and Electrical fundamentals. The second year builds on this foundation with compulsory modules including Aerospace Design II, Aerospace thermofluids 2, Aerospace Structures and Dynamics, Embedded Programming and Analysis, Aerospace Materials, and Avionics and Electrical Energy. Moving into the third year, students study compulsory modules like Aircraft Design and Aircraft Dynamics and Investigative Project, while also selecting from optional modules covering space systems, machine learning, control systems, energy systems, communication systems, structural dynamics, simulation, aerodynamics, composite materials, thermodynamics, and metallurgy. The final year includes the compulsory module Preparation for Practice alongside optional modules such as Advanced Space Systems and Space Weather, Mobile Robotics and Autonomous Systems, Electronic Communication Technologies, Industrial training programme (ITP) in Avionics, Advanced Engineering Fluid Dynamics, Advanced Dynamics, Multisensor and Decision Systems, Aviation Safety and Aeroelasticity, Advanced Materials Manufacturing, Design and Manufacture of Composites, Data Modelling and Machine Intelligence, Testing and verification in safety-critical systems, and Principles of Communications.
