This Aerospace Engineering degrees are structured to provide students with broad coverage of engineering disciplines appropriate to the current and future aerospace industry and research area. This growing industry will require skilled graduates who will be centre stage in solving important technological challenges. Graduates will be gaining skills required to successfully join the wider aerospace industry. In particular, our graduates will be prepared to transform the emerging fields of satellite, deep space missions and unmanned aerial vehicles, where remote control and communications are required. This is achieved by a common first two years where all aspects of aerospace engineering are covered before the students specialise in Materials or Engineering (structures and avionics) for their two final years. Aspects of space missions continue through years 2 - 4 for both specialisms. Graduates could also pursue careers and research opportunities in non-aerospace areas where expertise in advanced materials, manufacturing, structures, aggressive environments and remote communication and control are important. As a Birmingham student you are part of academic elite and will learn from world-leading experts. At Birmingham we advocate an enquiry based learning approach, from the outset you will be encouraged to become an independent and self-motivated learner, qualities that are highly sought after by employers. We want you to be challenged and will encourage you to think for yourself. Preparation for your career should be one of the first things you think about as you start university.
