MEng Aerospace Engineering Space Technology

The MEng Aerospace Engineering (Space Technology) is a four-year combined Master's programme that offers a thorough research of aerospace engineering with a major in space-related applications. The course is to help students with advanced skills and knowledge in areas such as rocket propulsion, spacecraft design, and space mission planning. 

It is detailed in studies and very practical, which prepares graduates to become leaders in the aerospace and space industries. Students will be taught through lectures, laboratory sessions, and computational workshops using industry-standard software. 

Students will be assessed through challenging individual and group projects, including design projects in the final year that will apply their understanding to practical engineering problems. The programme is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society, so it meets the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.

Kingston University is a well-known institution in Kingston upon Thames, a lively part of south-west London. Since 1899, the university has built a reputation for good courses and close industry ties. Today, it's a modern place to study with great facilities and practical learning and is regarded for its teaching and has received a Gold rating in the Teaching Excellence Framework.

The University offers both undergraduate and postgraduate programmes in different fields that include Engineering, Business Management, Data Science, Law, Computer Science, and the Arts, among others. Kingston University focuses on developing "Future Skills" for its students, which helps develop skills like problem-solving and digital skills, preparing them for the job market.

Applicants are required to submit a personal statement, academic or employer reference, and a detailed research proposal, with an optional CV, to show they are fit for the course.

Grade Requirements:

• Applicants need 128-144 UCAS Tariff points with at least three A-levels, including Mathematics and two science subjects (such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, or Further Maths). 
• A BTEC National Extended Diploma in an Engineering or related subject (Aerospace, Aeronautical, Electrical, Electronic, Manufacturing, and Mechanical Engineering) with DDM grades is acceptable.
• An Access Course in Engineering subject, passed with all Level 3 Maths and Physics units at Distinction, will also be considered.

For international students, the tuition fee for the 2025/26 academic year  MEng Aerospace Engineering (Space Technology) programme is £18,500.

For international students, the University offers International Development scholarships, which are partial awards of £5,000 for the first year of study, aimed at encouraging academic excellence. Home students may be eligible for bursaries such as the Kingston Bursary, or specific bursaries for care leavers, estranged students, or young adult carers. Additionally, some postgraduate scholarships like the GREAT Scholarships (for specific countries) are available at the university, though these are not for undergraduate study.
