Introduction
Aeronautical and aerospace engineering ranks among the UK's most rapidly expanding sectors, offering diverse career paths in R&D, testing, and maintenance operations.
This program explores fundamental aeronautical engineering concepts, encompassing both experimental and theoretical aerodynamics, aircraft design principles, flight dynamics and control systems, propulsion technologies, flight simulation methods, structural engineering, and computational fluid dynamics.
Graduates can pursue roles across the aerospace industry, including aircraft aerodynamics, wind energy systems, aviation administration, defense industries, and aircraft maintenance/repair services (MRO).
Students may enroll in either a 3-year Bachelor's program (BEng Hons) or a 4-year integrated master's. After three years, eligible students can either graduate with a BEng or continue for an additional year to earn an MEng qualification.
Program Length: Four years full-time study, five years including placement
A typical offer is 112 UCAS points (120 UCAS points for MEng) from at least two A-levels including Mathematics or Physics at grade C, or Engineering or Physics BTEC National Diploma/ Extended Diploma at DMM (DDM for MEng) Plus, five GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English and Mathematics or equivalent. Alternative qualifications include: Pass in one of the following QAA accredited Access to HE course with at least 15 level 3 credits in the relevant subject at distinction: Access to HE Engineering Engineering Science Engineering Science and Mathematics Physics and Engineering Physics and Mathematics If you are studying an alternative Access course that is related to Engineering, Mathematics or Physics please contact us for more details. English and Mathematics GCSEs are required as a separate qualification as equivalency is not accepted within the Access qualification. We will normally require students to have had a break from full-time education before undertaking the Access course. International Baccalaureate: 26+ points (30+ points for MEng) with Mathematics or Physics at higher level T Levels Merit Engineering Year Zero: Pass. If English is not your first language an IELTS score of 6.0 overall with 5.5 in each band (or equivalent).
