This three-year degree covers the core subjects of Aeronautics and Astronautics. It is ideal if you wish to complete your studies in three years. The first two years of the course have identical content to that of the MEng course. Students can also take the Industrial Placement Year, providing the opportunity for a year-long placement with an engineering-based organisation. During this degree course in Aeronautics and Astronautics, you will gain a solid foundation in aerospace engineering such as aerodynamics, astronautics and propulsion along with a wider appreciation of the economic, legal and environmental issues associated with aircraft operations and aircraft performance. In your third year, you can choose to specialise through a wide selection of advanced aerospace modules and will also carry out an individual project. The first year will provide you with a solid foundation in engineering science with a focus on aerospace. Core module content also includes the economic, legal and environmental issues associated with aircraft operations and basic aircraft performance. In your second year, there is increasing focus on aerospace engineering topics such as aerodynamics, astronautics and propulsion. You will also take a practical one-week course in flight testing at Southampton International Airport, where experiments are performed on board a Jetstream aircraft. In your third year, you can choose to specialise through a wide selection of advanced aerospace modules. You will also carry out an individual project, as well as a group aircraft design project. At Southampton, our students form knowledge and understanding through a combination of lectures, tutorials, classes, laboratory experiments, coursework and individual and group projects. You will broaden your formal learning by becoming an active student member of a professional institution and our student Engineering Society, SUES. We will also teach you the transferable skills to present written and oral presentations. Recent graduates are employed at organisations including: Dyson, European Space Agency, Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), Jaguar Land Rover, MERCEDES-AMG Petronas Motorsport, and Rolls-Royce.
