Course summary

The key aim of this Aeronautical and Mechanical Engineering degree is to develop intellectual and application skills through knowledge acquisition, problem-solving, deductive skills, synthesis, analysis, and evaluation. This also encompasses social and environmental implications. Learn advanced skills and knowledge, and graduate with a Master’s in Engineering after just four years of study. During this degree, you will:

  • Develop a full understanding of engineering design concepts and the product development process.
gain key skills and sound knowledge for a successful career in aircraft design and manufacturing industries, as well as in a variety of modern manufacturing engineering sectors, -Be pragmatic, taking a systematic approach and the logical and practical steps necessary for often complex concepts to become reality. -Seek to achieve sustainable solutions to problems and have strategies for being creative, innovative, and overcoming difficulties by employing their skills, knowledge and understanding in a flexible manner. -Be skilled at solving problems by applying their numerical, computational, analytical, and technical skills, using appropriate tools. -Be risk, cost and value-conscious, and aware of their ethical, social, cultural, environmental, health and safety, and wider professional responsibilities. -Be familiar with the nature of business and enterprise in the creation of economic and social value appreciate the global dimensions of engineering, commerce, and communication; -Be able to formulate and operate within appropriate codes of conduct, when faced with an ethical issue. -Be professional in your outlook, be capable of team working, be effective communicators, and be able to exercise responsibility and sound management approaches. Key Course Features -Integrated Industrial Placement, providing you with a more diverse range of skills and experiences in a workplace setting ready for employment -You will be taught by a dedicated teaching team, many with industrial backgrounds. -Subsonic and supersonic wind tunnel facilities. -Advanced Composite Training and Development Centre based in Broughton. -3D laser scanner. -Access to cutting-edge computer-aided design, analysis and simulation software, including ANSYS, Abaqus, MATLAB and Simulink, etc. -Work on jet engine aircraft in our aircraft hangar. -Become eligible to be a student member with the IMechE, RAeS, and/or IET.
