This course aims to provide you with a broad base of engineering, computational and analytical skills, as well as the specific knowledge and experience required for careers in the aeronautical industry. All of our Aeronautical Engineering students cover the same core study programme for the first two years. This focuses on a broad base of physical and engineering subjects, including a strong emphasis on mathematics in the first year and an opportunity to attend a one-week flight testing course at the National Flying Laboratory Centre at Cranfield University in the second year. The third year includes a mixture of core and optional modules, including a six-week group design project. Working in design teams, you are tasked with developing a particular design concept to the stage where feasibility has been fully explored. Projects in recent years have included a "flying wing" passenger aircraft, an advanced tactical stealth fighter, and an off-shore oil platform. All of our undergraduate courses lead to an integrated Master's degree, which includes study at postgraduate level. Students who have studied the appropriate foreign language also have the opportunity to undertake their project in Europe. Professional registration also brings international recognition of your qualification, which is particularly useful for students preparing for a career abroad. This makes our graduates highly sought after for a range of careers in the aerospace industry, manufacturing, consultancy, research and development, and in other fields as diverse as teaching or finance.
