BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering with foundation year in Guildford United Kingdom | University of Surrey

As a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) or Master of Engineering (MEng) student, you'll gain access to cutting-edge wind-tunnel research facilities and be taught by globally recognized experts. Our strong industry connections enhance your employability skills, while our acclaimed Professional Training placements ready you for diverse career paths. You can further develop hands-on, collaborative, and leadership abilities by participating in our thriving student design competitions, such as the UAS Challenge team. This program holds professional accreditation from both the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Royal Aeronautical Society.

Our aerospace engineering curriculum covers innovative materials, design principles, aerodynamics, space technology, propulsion systems, and modern computational/simulation methods. Through hands-on experience with our comprehensive aerodynamics and materials testing facilities—including a working jet engine and flight simulator—you'll apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings. Our research-driven approach connects you with specialists in aircraft aerodynamics, environmental aerodynamics, propulsion systems, computational fluid dynamics, and gas-turbine flow modeling (through our Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre partnership).

You may choose between the BEng or MEng pathways. The MEng program extends the BEng with an additional master's year, providing a streamlined path to a postgraduate qualification.
