BEng Aerospace Engineering with foundation year and placement
Course overview
This is a five-year course that starts with a foundation year to help students build solid knowledge before they begin the degree. It also includes a year of on-the-job training in the industry. This course is for students who have the potential to become successful engineers but need a lower starting grade. You will receive complete instruction in key areas like advanced materials, aerodynamics, design, engine technology, and space systems.
Students get to learn from experts whose teaching includes the newest research. Students will use specialist equipment, such as modern wind-tunnel labs. A key part of the course is the award-winning Professional Training placement, which helps students get practical experience. They can also build teamwork skills by joining successful student design groups. This BEng degree is officially approved by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS).
