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.
This degree programme bridges the divide between aeronautics and mechanical engineering and thus provides its graduates with the crossdisciplinary background needed to flourish in one of the most challenging engineering fields.
You will benefit from our strong links with the aerospace industries. MEng students take part in a flight-testing course in a Jetstream aircraft.

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 aeronautics, 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
MECHANICAL DESIGN 2
INTRODUCTION TO AERODYNAMICS 2
MATERIALS 2
MATHEMATICS AE2X
POWER ELECTRONICS 2
THERMODYNAMICS 2
ENGINEERING SKILLS 2
MECHANICS OF STRUCTURES 2A
DYNAMICS 2
FLUID MECHANICS 2
ENGINEERING MATHEMATICS 2
You will study applicable mathematics, applied mechanics, design and manufacture, microeconomics, elements of thermodynamics for aerospace propulsion, engineering computing, introduction to aerodynamics, additional mathematics, materials and power electronics.
Year 3
AERODYNAMICS AND FLUID MECHANICS 3
CONTROL 3
HEAT TRANSFER 3
INSTRUMENTATION AND DATA SYSTEMS 3
DESIGN AND MANUFACTURE 3
SIMULATION OF ENGINEERING SYSTEMS 3
MECHANICS OF SOLIDS 3
DYNAMICS 3
PROPULSION & TURBOMACHINERY 3
AIRCRAFT PERFORMANCE 3
FLIGHT MECHANICS 3
You will visit a number of industries in the UK and study more advanced engineering subjects – aerodynamics and fluid mechanics, aircraft performance, dynamics and control, flight mechanics, materials and manufacture, mathematical modelling and simulation, mechanics of materials and structures, propulsion and turbomachinery, and heat transfer.
Years 4 and 5
INDIVIDUAL PROJECT 4
PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE 5
In year 4 you will study a range of core mechanical engineering subjects and core aeronautics subjects, plus a choice of advanced options. You will also undertake a team aerospace design project. Year 4 MEng students also undertake a multi-disciplinary group project.
In year 5 of the MEng programme an aerospace-focused individual project forms a major component of the programme, and in addition there are options from advanced engineering subjects.
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.
The degree aims to allow students who wish to pursue a professional engineering career in mechanical engineering but who have a particular interest in aeronautical and aerospace engineering to keep their career options open. Graduates will have all the engineering and transferable skills of mechanical engineers with a strong additional specialty in aeronautics. Mechanical engineering graduates are well represented in aerospace industries and this degree provides enhanced employment opportunities in this sector.
ACCREDITATION
These degrees are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Royal Aeronautical Society.
