MEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering with Space Technology
University of HertfordshireUniversity of Hertfordshire, Hatfield
Course overview
Like the BEng, this course includes many of the modules featured on our general aerospace engineering course, as well as special modules on the design of space vehicles, rocket propulsion, space flight control and satellite communication systems. However, in your MEng year you’ll deepen your skills and knowledge, taking extra modules in aerospace embedded systems, computational fluid dynamics and human resource management. As with the BEng, you’ll have the chance to join with other aerospace students to design a complete aircraft.
You’ll also work with astrophysicists to design a space vehicle in conjunction with a major space industry employer.
Key highlights
