The Airbus A380, the Boeing Dreamliner and the Eurofighter Typhoon each had key mechanical and electrical systems designed and developed in the UK. This course is designed to provide you with the skills required to join the teams of engineers designing and developing systems for the next generation of aircraft. The aerospace industry provides one of the most challenging environments for the development and testing of new technologies. This course aims to develop a broad range of systems engineering skills and is taught with a focus on developing problem-solving skills. You will learn to apply your knowledge to various aspects of aerospace systems. The course aims to give you skills in designing aircraft components. Projects are based upon the systems utilised in the latest military, civil, helicopter and space vehicles. We have invested in aerospace facilities to ensure this course provides excellent facilities for you to learn on actual aircraft products.

Our Aerospace Systems Engineering students have gone on to careers in the military as pilots and engineers. They have become systems design engineers with companies including Marshall Aerospace, Meggitt, Goodrich, Moog, HS Marstons and many more. We have students currently working overseas at Airbus in France and Berntrandt in Germany.
