Modules
All students follow a common programme of study for the first two years, studying core material that provides a solid practical foundation in engineering analysis and aircraft technology with hands-on design exercises and laboratory tests. At the end of year two, you will spend a year working in industry where you will gain first-hand experience of the exciting challenges that are faced by aerospace engineers, and will significantly enhance your technical engineering skills and employability. In year three, students will begin their individual research projects as well as undertaking core modules in computer modelling techniques and engineering management, professional practice, certification, safety and reliability. There are also a number of specialised optional modules across the aeromechanics, aeroelectrical and general streams.
