Course summary

Choosing the integrated foundation year ensures that you’ll have skills and knowledge – including the essential maths – and confidence to make the most of your degree. Our integrated foundation year course offers an extra year to prepare you for study at degree-level. After successfully completing the foundation year you can progress straight to the Aerospace Engineering BEng(Hons) degree where you’ll prepare for a career as a skilled, creative professional working on the development, testing, and production of drones, satellites, aircraft and spacecraft that help connect our world and explore the universe.

Modules

During your foundation year lectures, laboratory classes, tutorials and seminars provide a varied learning environment. In your first degree year, a major design project will familiarise you with the course and your colleagues and you will be given an introduction to mechanical engineering. During Year 2, subjects including management, aeronautical computer-aided design and modelling are introduced. After Year 2, you can develop your experience by opting to take an industrial placement year. The final year comprises specialist options and a major individual project which is often supported by industry.
