The courses provide knowledge to underpin engineering fundamentals, mathematical modelling and simulation, using strong themes of group work and design. All students on the courses gain experience of testing and flight procedures during a week-long flight test course, involving up to four flights, usually in a Jetstream aircraft.
Year 1
Areas studied include aircraft systems, computing, elasticity, materials, mathematics and mechanics, aircraft design, manufacturing, technology and management, thermodynamics and risk analysis.
Year 2
Areas studied include aircraft, control engineering, dynamics and vibration, electrotechnology, aerodynamics, structural design, tubomachinery and propulsion and systems reliability assessment.
Optional placement/study year
Optional industrial placement and/or overseas study.
Year 3/4
Individual project (BEng), design studies and management (MEng) plus choices from a range of optional modules.
Final year MEng
Continue work on group project, business modelling, an individual research project and choices from a range of optional modules.
Graduate destinations
This course equips you for careers in all branches of the aerospace industry, airline operators, Government research establishments and appropriate branches of the armed forces. *Diploma in Industrial/International Studies
The Automotive courses have established an international reputation for the quality of the graduates produced. The courses include a week of vehicle testing at the MIRA test ground, enabling students to put theory into practice. You will have the opportunity to be involved in a student-led team to design, test and race a new Formula Student car each year.
Year 1
