BEng Astronautics and Space Engineering

This is a five-year Master's degree (MEng) that includes a mandatory one-year job placement in an industry setting. The course takes students' Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) studies and adds a higher-level year for advanced topics. These topics include aerodynamics, design, engine technology, advanced materials, and space systems. The main goal is to prepare top-quality engineers for the aerospace industry.

The MEng course has been officially approved by both the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS). This means the degree completely satisfies the school requirements needed to become a Chartered Engineer. Students gain professional skills using specialist equipment like modern wind tunnels and are taught by research staff through lessons, lab work, and group projects.

The University of Surrey has an excellent reputation, especially for helping its students find jobs after they complete their studies and for teaching based on the newest research. The school provides a large number of programmes for students at both the pre-degree (undergraduate) and advanced (postgraduate) levels. These subjects cover a broad range, including Engineering, Business, Law, Medicine, and the Arts, which helps to create a productive and positive place to study.

When applying, applicants must submit a personal statement explaining why they want to take the course and share any other important information about themselves or their studies. You also need a reference from a relevant teacher or employer. Applicants can choose to upload their CV with their application to show any work experience or achievements.

Grade Requirements:

• Applicants need A-level grades of AAA to AAB. This must include Mathematics at grade A and either Further Maths or Physics.
• Alternatively, they need Mathematics at grade A and two other physical science subjects, such as Chemistry or Computer Science.
• Applicants also need a GCSE grade 4 (C) or higher in English Language.

English Proficiency:

• Non-English speaking applicants need an overall score of 6.0 in the IELTS Academic test. You must also get at least 5.5 in every part of the test (reading, writing, listening, and speaking), or provide an approved test score that is equivalent.

The tuition fee for each academic year of the MEng Aerospace Engineering with Placement in the University of Surrey for international students is £27,000.

The University of Surrey has several excellent scholarships for international students who begin a degree like MEng Aerospace Engineering. One main scholarship is the International Excellence Award, which cuts tuition costs by £5,000 for self-funded students who show outstanding results in their studies.

Another large scholarship is the Sam and John Dawson Scholarship, a generous prize that gives students £60,000 across the duration of their science, technology, engineering, or maths (STEM) degree. Finally, students can try for the highly respected Vice Chancellor's Future Leaders Award, which is a competitive award for those with great grades and the ability to become leaders.

The placement year and advanced MEng qualification prepare graduates for senior technical roles in aerospace and related high-technology fields. The five major career paths include:

• Aerospace Engineer
• Design Engineer
• Propulsion Engineer
• Systems Engineer
• Air Accident Investigator

Admission to the MEng Aerospace Engineering with Placement is processed through the UCAS application system. But we strongly suggest and encourage all applicants to contact AHZ's trained counsellors for help with the process.
