Alongside the fundamental aerospace engineering curriculum, you'll undertake pilot training modules to gain flying expertise. Pilot studies students can utilize the dedicated flight lab and participate in the Flight Simulation Group (FSG). By completing this Aerospace Engineering program at Liverpool, you'll demonstrate proficiency in aircraft design, construction, testing, and operation.
The aerospace engineering curriculum covers diverse subjects and learning approaches, from research projects to technical report analysis and aircraft development. Throughout your studies at Liverpool, you'll explore various disciplines including aerodynamics, aircraft structures, flight control systems, propulsion technologies, avionics, aerospace materials, and vehicle design.
Aerospace professionals create, evaluate, construct, test, and service flight vehicles, their components, and related systems. This field encompasses both atmospheric and spaceflight applications.
Your independent research project will cultivate innovative thinking in your chosen technical specialization. Our Aerospace Engineering degrees hold accreditation (or are undergoing accreditation) from the Royal Aeronautical Society and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, serving as a pathway to Chartered Engineer certification.
The industrial placement year (third year) allows you to gain professional experience with an approved employer. This opportunity develops workplace skills and technical competencies, preparing you for project, research, and management positions in aerospace and related engineering fields. Placement availability depends on industry opportunities and your academic performance in preceding years.
