Aviation Engineering BEng (Hons)

Gain the skills to design, manufacture and maintain aircraft You’ll benefit from our successful history working alongside the aviation industry to successfully place Kingston graduates. Our Aerospace and Aviation Engineering courses equip you with the essential skills to design, manufacture and maintain aircraft. You'll graduate prepared for a successful career in the aviation industry.

With strong industry connections, Kingston graduates have secured roles at major aerospace companies, including Virgin Atlantic, EasyJet, Thales, and in key hubs like Heathrow and Gatwick airports. At our Roehampton Vale campus, you'll train in a cutting-edge learning environment with composite manufacturing labs, 3D printing, flight simulators and advanced CAD/CAM facilities. You’ll gain hands-on experience with industry-standard software, including SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ANSYS and computational fluid dynamics tools.

This means you'll develop future-ready skills in aircraft design and analysis. Through real-world flight simulator training, you'll tackle real-life aviation challenges, enhancing your problem-solving and technical expertise. Our strong industry partnerships offer professional networking opportunities, industrial placements and career pathways, ensuring you're well-prepared for a dynamic career in aerospace and aviation engineering.

Engineering at Kingston University Follow along as our students talk through the skills they're developing to design their future careers. Soon after starting my final year, I applied and received conditional job offers from Thales UK, Airbus UK and Shell. I'm now currently working as a systems engineer within flight simulation.

I write software for flight simulators which often involves travelling across the UK and the world, most notably northern England, Scotland and Dubai. William
