From faster cars to greener aircraft, aerospace engineers are advancing innovations in today’s world. Join our Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) accredited course to become part of an industry at the forefront of change, supporting other sectors such as renewable energy and sea transport.

We were the first university in the UK to provide a degree in this area in 1907. Today, we use our years of experience to help you hone your skills in top facilities. Our aero lab has everything from wind tunnels to a flight simulator, an anechoic chamber to a jet engine simulator. 

Immersed in industry 

Our academic team are experts in all four areas of the field: aerodynamics, propulsion and power, aerostructures, and systems. We also bring in guest speakers from organisations including Airbus and Altair Engineering. You’ll hear about specific issues, from the effect of pandemics on aviation to modern energy challenges. 

You’ll start exploring your options and growing your network throughout the course. Our Industrial Liaison Forum day is a chance to impress potential employers as you present your project findings.
