What is Aerospace Engineering?

Aerospace Engineering is a dynamic and future-focused discipline. It explores how we design, develop, and improve technologies that enable flight, from electrified aircraft and drones to satellite systems and space vehicles. 

Aerospace engineers play a vital role in tackling real-world challenges. These include reducing carbon emissions, advancing navigation systems, and creating sustainable solutions for global transport and communication. 

Aerospace Engineering at Âé¶¹´«Ã½

At Âé¶¹´«Ã½, our Aerospace Engineering courses equip you with a strong foundation in core engineering principles. You'll also obtain the specialist knowledge needed to thrive in the aerospace sector.

You'll explore topics such as:

  • renewable fuels
  • electrification of flight
  • space, data and digitalisation
  • sustainability in engineering and manufacture
  • entrepreneurship

You’ll gain hands-on experience in our specialist Aerospace Teaching Laboratory, home to wind tunnels, jet engines, flight simulators, and a drone flight zone. You’ll also work on real-world projects in the new Stephenson Building and student-led Makerspace.
