Explore the materials utilized in aircraft and spacecraft, including selection criteria, performance characteristics, and failure mechanisms. This program focuses on designing and producing high-speed aerospace vehicles, with specialized studies in materials science, structural analysis, and engineering. The MEng in Aeronautics and Astronautics with a focus on Materials and Structures equips students for careers in engineering design or advanced research. The curriculum examines the scientific principles, engineering processes, and manufacturing techniques behind aircraft and spacecraft. Our aeronautical engineering programs teach operational dynamics within Earth's atmosphere and outer space. Students master aerospace engineering fundamentals before progressing to specialized modules covering materials science, construction methods, and testing procedures for aeronautical and manufacturing engineering.
The third year features an independent research project, while the fourth year involves collaborative design work.
Gain practical experience through our comprehensive facilities, which include:
specialized design studios and workshops for students
the most expansive academic wind tunnel in the UK
a cutting-edge structures research lab within the £48m National Infrastructure Laboratory
jet propulsion facilities featuring supersonic ramjet, turbojet, and rocket engines
a professional-grade manufacturing center

Subjects of Study
Language Requirements
English
IELTS 6.5
Qualification Requirements
A-levels - A*AA including mathematics (minimum grade A) and physics (minimum grade A), with a pass in the physics Practical (where it is separately endorsed).
A-levels additional information
A pass in the science Practical is required where it is separately endorsed. Offers typically exclude General Studies and Critical Thinking.
A-levels with Extended Project Qualification
If you are taking an EPQ in addition to 3 A levels, you will receive the following offer in addition to the standard A level offer: AAA including mathematics and physics, with a pass in the physics Practical (where it is separately endorsed) plus grade A in the EPQ
A-levels contextual offer
We are committed to ensuring that all applicants with the potential to succeed, regardless of their background, are encouraged to apply to study with us. The additional information gained through contextual data allows us to recognise an applicant's potential to succeed in the context of their background and experience. Applicants who are highlighted in this way will be made an offer which is lower than the typical offer for that programme, as follows: AAA or A*AB including mathematics (minimum grade A) and physics (minimum grade A), with a pass in the physics Practical (where it is separately endorsed).
International Baccalaureate Diploma - Pass, with 38 points overall with 19 points required at Higher Level, including 6 at Higher Level in Physics and 6 at Higher Level in Mathematics (Analysis and Approaches) or 7 at Higher Level in Mathematics (Applications and Interpretation)
IELTS - overall score 6.5 with other component (reading, writing, speaking, listening - 6.0)
TOEFL iBT- 92
