BEng Aerospace Engineering
About this course
BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering, an aerospace engineering degree centred on the analysis, design, and manufacture of flight systems. Core topics include Engineering Design and Ethics & Professional Practice. The programme is aligned with the AHEP-4 framework and features assessment through real-world tasks rather than traditional exams, alongside a 12-week professional placement in the final year. The first year covers the foundations through Engineering Maths, Fundamentals of Aerospace Engineering, and Engineering Materials and Processes. The second year focuses on applied topics via Mechanical Design and Analysis, Aerospace Design and Performance, and Applied Thermofluids and Propulsion. The final year includes advanced study in Mechanical Modelling and Simulation, Advanced Aerodynamics and CFD, and Lightweight Structures and Composites, culminating in an independent project.
