The application of these subjects to aircraft and aero-engine design and development is common to all years of the course. During Year 1, the course matches theory and application by timetabling lectures and tutorials in the morning, followed by applied studies, such as practical instruction, computing and laboratory experiments in the afternoon. The first two years of the course are common for both MEng and BEng students, allowing BEng students the opportunity to transfer to the MEng at the end of the second year.

This course equips you for careers in all branches of the aerospace industries (including airline operators), Government research establishments and appropriate branches of the armed forces. Academically gifted students are encouraged to undertake postgraduate studies within the Department.
