Course Overview
The first two years will develop your core knowledge of engineering science with a focus on aeronautics. You will also take a practical short course in flight testing, where experiments are performed on board a Jetstream aircraft. In year four, you will develop your knowledge of aircraft design and participate in a group design project. Previous examples include the design and build of an unmanned air vehicle and a lunar hopper. In your final year, you can specialise in a range of interdisciplinary modules, from Race Car Aerodynamics to Aeroacoustics. The course requires no additional tuition cost. Students can also take the Industrial Placement Year, providing the opportunity for a year-long placement with an engineering-based organisation.
