UCAS tariff points: 112 for BEng (Hons); 128 for MEng.
A-levels (or equivalent) in Mathematics and a science subject (two science subjects for MEng).
Academic IELTS of 6.0, with no element below 5.5.
Entry on to this course does not require an interview, entrance test, audition or portfolio.
These courses are ideal if you're interested in the design, construction and operation of aircraft and would like to extend your studies into space.
You'll examine the challenges of space flight and the benefits of using the space environment. You'll study aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, dynamics and materials, the design of spacecraft, payloads and space dynamics, and will carry out a practical rocket design exercise.
If you choose the MEng degree, you'll continue to deepen and broaden your expertise in Year 4, with studies that include the design, cost, logistical and operational implications of space missions.

Please note that this is an indicative list of modules and is not intended as a definitive list as these could change before your year of entry.
Year 1
Year 1 is common across all our chartered engineer status degrees. It provides skills and knowledge required for further study. Subjects include mathematics, electronics and thermodynamics and engineering applications, alongside an introduction to the engineering profession. You will examine the engineering challenges of robotic and human spaceflight (including practical rocketry), and get hands-on experience with real space hardware.
Year 2
Year 2 introduces topics such as aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, dynamics and materials, and further study of mathematics, electronics, control and computing. You will investigate the demands of space flight and the benefits of using the space environment, covering the definition, analysis and uses of orbits, trajectories and atmospheric re-entry. You will study the functional analysis of spacecraft and their payloads and space dynamics, and will carry out a practical design exercise involving rockets. There will also be an industrial visit and guest speakers from industry.
Year 3
Year 3 includes a module on space vehicle design. This is divided into critical support functions for space missions, core spacecraft subsystems, mechanical systems and an introduction to space mission design. Core lectures will be enhanced by industry visitors and tours to space companies. You will also carry out an individual research project. BEng students will take part in a group design project similar to the MEng students and get hands-on experience with real space hardware.
