BEng Aerospace Engineering

Coventry University

Course overview

Coventry University offers a BEng Aerospace Engineering degree. This course is designed to help students fully understand the principles of systems engineering and how they are used in the aerospace industry. Students will learn to use the same tools and methods found in the industry. 

The programme is officially recognised by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), meaning it completely meets the training needed to become an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and partly meets the training for a Chartered Engineer (CEng).

Students' learning will involve practical activities such as projects, solving problems, and studying real-world examples in classrooms, labs, or even work environments. The course covers important subjects such as how fluids move (fluid mechanics), how air interacts with aircraft (aerodynamics), and key mechanical and electrical engineering principles. 

Students will also learn about design and essential aerospace skills. In the first year, students will study topics common to related courses, providing students with a solid base before they choose their specialisation.

Entry requirements

Candidates are required to submit a personal statement where they discuss their reasons for applying for the course and other necessary information about their education.
