Aerospace Engineers create, develop, and construct aircraft, spacecraft, and satellites. With rapid progress in commercial space travel, drone innovation, eco-friendly technologies, and aerospace business, this field has become one of engineering's most rapidly expanding specialties. The BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering program merges fundamental mechanical engineering principles with specialized aerospace applications, emphasizing both current and future demands of the aviation sector. This undergraduate degree equips students with essential skills and specialized expertise to begin a successful aerospace engineering career. The curriculum draws from various engineering fields to establish a comprehensive knowledge base. During the initial two years, students complete coursework from our renowned mechanical engineering program, valued by employers for developing problem-solving abilities, component analysis skills, and practical solution design. Foundational Aerospace Engineering concepts are also introduced. In the final two years, students deepen their aerospace expertise through a Group Design Project and specialized electives like Spacecraft Engineering, Sustainable Aerodynamics, Drone Technologies, and Aerospace Simulation. The program emphasizes hands-on learning, allowing students to apply theory using cutting-edge facilities such as wind tunnels, supersonic testing equipment, and professional-grade software for fluid dynamics, finite element analysis, and CAD design.

As our programmes are taught and assessed in English, applicants must be able to prove their level of English language ability as part of the application process. This should be shown through one of the following means - You are from a majority English speaking country or have completed a qualification equivalent to a UK degree from a majority English speaking country as defined by UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI). You have successfully completed a degree from a UK University within the last two academic years where all study has taken place in the UK or at an overseas campus in a non-majority English speaking country as defined by the UKVI, then we will consider this on a case-by-case basis. Our decision will be made on a variety of factors including length of study, level of study, subject relevance, nature of degree and time since completion (no longer than two academic years). You have passed one of the following English Language Tests within the last 2 years at the levels indicated (we will need to verify the results of the test and as such you will need to upload your original certificate as part of the application process). IELTS Academic 6.0 with no score lower than 5.5. TOEFL iBT 79 (including reading 18, listening 17, speaking 20, and writing 21).
