Aerospace Engineering

Aerospace engineers are working worldwide on the design of aeroplanes, helicopters, drones and satellites, and solving complex engineering challenges from aerodynamics to propulsion. Their work can improve air travel safety, reduce emissions, enhance satellite communications, and even support disaster relief efforts.

On our Aerospace Engineering BEng(Hons) degree you’ll work with other engineering students and innovative researchers on challenging and rewarding projects including fighting robots, rocket cars, and the international Engineering Without Borders challenge.

Our Aerospace Engineering MEng offers an extra year of study at masters level.
