Kingston UniversityRoehampton Vale, United Kingdom

Course overview

Get ready to launch your career into space Undertake real-world problems in a virtual engineering environment. At our Roehampton Vale campus, you will have access to a modern environment with the latest technology, including: The Merlin flight simulator - you can programme a mathematical model of your design into the simulator and then monitor the results Large-scale wind tunnels that enable testing in winds of up to 90 miles per hour Industry-standard test and experimental equipment for metrology, robotics, rapid prototyping, fatigue and quality control. We also have a dedicated postgraduate workroom with high spec PCs and a range of software.

Computer-aided design facilities include: A range of CAD/CAM packages, such as Ideas, SolidWorks and AutoCad Finite element analysis Computational fluid dynamics Virtual instrumentation. The recently-enlarged library at Roehampton Vale provides collections of specialist engineering books and journals. The Graduate Centre, exclusively for postgraduate students, provides space for private study, meetings and socialising.

The £4 million Hawker Wing provides three floors of extra space for students and staff at Roehampton Vale, including improved learning and teaching facilities. Kingston University has given me the knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm to pursue the discovery of engineering principles. I've had the opportunity to gain a unique insight into the complex nature of aerospace beyond atmosphere and up into space.
