Aerospace Engineering (with Foundation Year) BEng(Hons) at University of West of England

Engineering is where creative thinkers become world changers. An aerospace engineering degree will challenge you to ask questions, take risks and explore new perspectives. You'll turn ideas into reality as you apply the principles of science and technology to the research, design, manufacture and certification of current and future aerospace vehicles.

If you're fascinated by the history, technology and progress of aircraft and spacecraft, we'll take your passion and transform it into career-shaping skill and experience.

BEng(Hons) Aerospace Engineering has been designed in response to an increasing demand for qualified aerospace engineers. Developed with input from regional aerospace partners, it will to give you the industry- relevant skills and attributes you need to become a technical specialist and future leader within the aerospace industry.

This course equips you with industry knowledge and an in-depth understanding of the aerospace design and build process. Study materials and manufacturing, stress and dynamics, energy and thermodynamics to gain a solid grounding in aerospace engineering principles. In your second year, you'll have the opportunity to specialise through the Systems, Design and Manufacturing pathways.

From 2020, you'll be taught in our new multi-million pound Engineering building. Featuring engine test cells, wind tunnels and dedicated learning spaces, it's purpose-built to support a wide range of engineering disciplines.

Get an inside track on the industry through regular factory tours and professional briefings from leading aerospace organisations, and work on placements to build up valuable experience and professional skills.

Graduate ready to take up your place within the exciting, fast-paced aerospace industry.
