Our astronautics and aeronautics undergraduate degree covers advanced aerospace engineering. You'll learn how to design and manufacture fast-moving aircraft in the Earth’s atmosphere and outer space. The course looks at the science, engineering and manufacture of aircraft, jet engines, race cars and spacecraft. You'll learn how they operate within our atmosphere and in space. Your degree will be aligned to the UK Space Agency Civil Space Strategy. You'll study the principles of aerospace engineering including aerodynamics, astronautics and propulsion. You'll also explore the economic, legal and environmental issues around aircraft and spacecraft. You'll get hands-on experience in extensive facilities, which include:
- -dedicated student design studios and workshops
- -the largest wind tunnel in any UK university
- -state-of-the-art space propulsion facilities
- -jet laboratory with supersonic ramjet, turbojet and rocket engine
- -Boeing flight simulator
- -professional manufacturing centre
-
As part of this astronautics and aeronautics BEng degree you can:
- -take part in practical design modules in every year of your degree
- -design, build and test aircraft, spacecraft and their wider components
- -take part in a flight-testing course, on board a flying laboratory aircraft
- -showcase your work in our annual Engineering Design Show
- -attend site visits to experience engineering in practice
