BEng Aerospace Engineering
Course overview
The BEng Aerospace Engineering at Brunel University London is a hands-on course that helps you build the skills needed to work in the global aerospace industry. In the first part of the course, you will study basic engineering subjects like structures, materials, fluids, and mathematics. Later in the course, you will study more advanced topics like how to design aircraft, how engines work, and how to test how planes fly.
You will use real tools and equipment such as wind tunnels, a flight simulator, and testing labs. You will also have the chance to meet professionals from the industry through guest lectures, company visits, and special projects. Because Brunel’s campus is close to Heathrow Airport, there are more chances for visits and work placements.
The BEng Aerospace Engineering at Brunel University London is approved by two professional groups – the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). This means the course helps you work towards becoming a qualified engineer. You can study for three years full-time, or choose a four-year option that includes one year working in a company to get real-world experience.
