BEng Honours Aerospace Engineering

The BEng (Honours) Aerospace Engineering course runs for three years and trains students to solve engineering challenges of aircraft and spacecraft within that period. The course is accredited by the Institute of Mechanical Engineers, which helps students meet part of the requirements for registration as Chartered Engineers.

Students will study topics such as aerodynamics, thermodynamics, structures, flight systems, and avionics and focus on solving real-world problems in topics like green aviation and sustainable design. They will learn through tutorials, practical lab sessions, seminars, and project-based learning.

Students will be assessed through exams, coursework, case studies, presentations, phase tests, vivas, and portfolios and an industry placement where they will gain experience and earn a diploma in applied professional practice.
