Trinity College London Integrated Skills in English: ISEII at Distinction with Distinction in all sub-tests
* Please note that TOEFL is still acceptable for admission to this programme for both home/EU and international students.
For international students, the Home Office has confirmed that the University can choose to use TOEFL to make its own assessment of English language ability for visa applications to degree level courses. We therefore still accept TOEFL tests taken in the last two years for admission to this programme.
Aeronautical engineering is about how aircraft are designed, constructed and powered, how they are used and how they are controlled for safe operation.

Year 1
AEROSPACE ENGINEERING 1
ANALOGUE ELECTRONICS 1
DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE 1
ENGINEERING SKILLS 1
MATERIALS 1
DYNAMICS 1
ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS 1
STATICS 1
THERMODYNAMICS 1
In your first year, you will take a wide-ranging curriculum which includes courses in aeronautical engineering, mathematics, dynamics, electronics, materials, statics, thermodynamics and engineering skills. These courses are supported by individual and group project work and laboratory work. This interdisciplinary approach, favoured by industry, also makes it possible to switch to most other engineering disciplines at the end of year 1 should you wish to do so.
Year 2
MICROECONOMICS E1
AEROSPACE DESIGN PROJECT 2
INTRODUCTION TO AERODYNAMICS 2
MATHEMATICS AE2X
POWER ELECTRONICS 2
THERMODYNAMICS 2
ENGINEERING SKILLS 2
MECHANICS OF STRUCTURES 2A
DYNAMICS 2
FLUID MECHANICS 2
ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS 2
In year 2 you will study fluid mechanics, dynamics, aeronautical engineering, thermodynamics and mathematics.
Year 3
AERODYNAMICS AND FLUID MECHANICS 3
AIRCRAFT DESIGN 3
CONTROL 3
INSTRUMENTATION AND DATA SYSTEMS 3
SIMULATION OF ENGINEERING SYSTEMS 3
DYNAMICS 3
PROPULSION & TURBOMACHINERY 3
AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE 3
FLIGHT MECHANICS 3
AIRCRAFT STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN 3
AIRCRAFT STRUCTURES AND MATERIALS 3
In year 3 you will learn about the design of aircraft. You will begin to analyse and understand aircraft behaviour, aircraft performance and propulsion systems, and perform detailed analysis of aircraft structural components.
Year 4 and 5
AEROSPACE DESIGN PROJECT 4
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT 4
ELEMENTS OF LAW FOR ENGINEERS 1
In year 4 you will begin to deal with some of the advanced concepts in aeronautics, including the study of composite materials, aeroelasticity, high-speed aerodynamics, fluid dynamics, flight dynamics and control theory.
BEng students undertake an individual project to solve a problem in aeronautical engineering. MEng students undertake an interdisciplinary team project.
In year 5 MEng students learn about aircraft handling qualities, aircraft operations, and advanced structural analysis techniques.
Half of this year is devoted to project work, which can be carried out in industry, within the university or via a placement abroad. A range of optional courses is available in years 4 and 5 to allow you to develop and follow your interests.
Pre-Sessional English Course
This depends on your starting level. For students aiming for the standard requirement of IELTS 6.5 and starting a degree programme in September we recommend
Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering
For entry to the 2nd year of an undergraduate degree at the University of Glasgow. Your course length is determined mainly by your English language level (UKVI IELTS score or accepted equivalent).
All students take a set of common or similar modules to gain key skills for university. If your course is longer than 2 terms, you’ll take extra modules focusing on one or more of English language, academic skills and basic subject knowledge.
Our recent graduates have been employed by organisations such as Prospect, Williams F1, Insyen, Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, the RAF, Fluid Gravity Engineer, Rolls-Royce plc, Rolls-Royce Derby, Thales and the Met Office.
