Aerospace Engineering (BEng)

Discover how to develop major aviation innovations and find sustainable solutions to make engineering cleaner.

From faster cars to greener aircraft, aerospace engineers are advancing innovations in today’s world. Join our Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) accredited course to become part of an industry at the forefront of change, supporting other sectors such as renewable energy and sea transport. We were the first university in the UK to provide a degree in this area in 1907. Today, we use our years of experience to help you hone your skills in top facilities. Our aero lab has everything from wind tunnels to a flight simulator, an anechoic chamber to a jet engine simulator.

Why choose this course

  • The skills you develop on this programme could be applied to next-generation spacecraft and high-performance aeroplanes and helicopters, or the future of ground transport, such as high-speed trains. The programme is also relevant to green energy technologies, like wind turbines.
