This course aims to give you the skills to start your career, working towards the future of aircraft design. This degree aims to help you develop in-depth detailed design skills with hands-on access to our remarkable equipment, which includes a Harrier Jump Jet, flight simulation suite and the Mercedes Petronas Wind Tunnel. Throughout the course you can explore the theory of aircraft system design, the complexities of aerospace programme management and the application of industry standard virtual and practical techniques to design safe and reliable aerospace components. Designed to support the UK Standard for Professional Enginevering Competence (UK-SPEC), the course is centred upon systems for aerospace vehicles and the requirement to design total system solutions including practical and virtual design skills. This course aims to develop a broad range of systems engineering skills and is taught with a focus on developing problem-solving skills. You will learn to apply your knowledge to various aspects of aerospace systems. The course aims to give you skills in designing aircraft components. Projects are based upon the systems utilised in the latest military, civil, helicopter and space vehicles. We have invested in aerospace facilities to ensure this course provides excellent facilities for you to learn on actual aircraft products. The benefits are collaborative links with many universities around the world; The opportunity to work on a flight simulation equipment suite; Strong international links. For example, one of our major international partners is the Emirates Aviation University located in Dubai; Accreditation from the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), meeting in part the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) registration, and the requirements for an Incorporated Engineer (IEng) registration in full; Teaching staff with industrial and research experience in a variety of disciplines such as aerodynamics, flight dynamics and avionics and experience of working for Bombardier, Rolls Royce, BAE Systems and Westland Helicopters.
