Course summary

This degree aims at providing you with the knowledge and skills required in the Aerospace Industry. Flight vehicles are subjected to demanding conditions such as those caused by changes in atmospheric pressure and temperature, with structural loads applied upon vehicle components. Consequently, they are usually the products of various technological and engineering disciplines including aerodynamics, propulsion, avionics, materials science, structural analysis and manufacturing. Because of the complexity and number of disciplines involved, aerospace engineering is carried out by teams of engineers, each having their own specialised area of expertise The course is designed to meet accreditation requirements of the RAeS and IMechE for Incorporated Engineer status. This course will include a live flight experience, which is reinforced with SIM work in Flight Simulator. We have strong links with industry and place considerable emphasis on student projects. We also encourage industrial placements as part of a sandwich year option.The aerospace industry is worth around 300 billion and is expected to approximately double by 2025. In 2021 116,000 people were employed in the industry in the UK. The industry is changing rapidly and moving towards environmentally friendly fuels which will completely dominate the market in the next few decades. This course was designed with these technological developments in mind so that graduates are equipped for the aerospace industry of the future. For students interested in a sandwich year, we have a dedicated placement officer within the School of Engineering, this is additional to the universities provision. Any organisation under the broad umbrella of aerospace engineering, to include design, development, test, manufacture of aerospace systems and components. Including aeronautical engineering applications such as aeroplane components and systems. Alternative complimentary engineering organisations, such a seat manufacture, automotive engineering, mechanical and manufacturing industries. Defence systems and military organisations.
