What you will study

You can choose to take an optional sandwich year between Years 2 and 3 (BEng(Hons)) and Year 3 (MEng only). MEng students have to study and earn 120 credits in Year 3 while taking their industrial placement using work-based learning by carrying out an industrial individual project as well as applied business and management analysis. They also need to study an aerospace engineering science module using blended/distance learning model (subject to RAeS accreditation).

The Space Technology pathway is the same as the standard programme for the first two years but students are expected to work on a space-related project in the Engineering Project Management module at level 5. In the final year students must take Space Vehicle Design and work on a space related individual project and group project.

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 provides an introduction to aerospace engineering under Professional Practice, and will underpin the skills and knowledge required for further specialised study. You will study a mix of analytical subjects, such as mathematics, structures, dynamics, electronics, thermodynamics and engineering applications, alongside an introduction to the profession of engineering. 

Core modules

• Introduction to Engineering Design and Manufacture

• Engineering Mechanics, Structures & Materials

• Engineering Mathematics and Computing Applications

• Fluid Mechanics and Engineering Science

Year 2

Year 2 will introduce you to specialised topics in aerospace engineering such as aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, dynamics and materials. It includes further study of mathematics, electronics, control and computing. A design-orientated module (Aerospace Engineering Design and Project Management) will apply the principles taught in the other modules to problems of aerospace design. 

Core modules

• Aerodynamics, Propulsion and Analytical Methods

• Electronic Systems, Control and Computing

• Engineering Project Management

• Aerospace Structures, Materials and Dynamics

Year 3

In Year 3, you will deepen your knowledge of specialised aerospace engineering subjects and will broaden your expertise in other areas of engineering. BEng students undertake a major group design project and an individual research project along with business and management as well as further and more in depth studies of aerodynamics, propulsion, structure, materials and dynamics including applied computational techniques widely used in industry. MEng students have the opportunity of integrating industrial placement with further studies using a combination of work-based learning as well as blended and distance learning (subject to accreditation by RAeS).
