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 significantly enhance your technical engineering and employability. In year four, you will work on a group design and make project, as well as choosing from a range of more specialised optional modules from within your chosen stream: general aerospace, aeromechanics, or aeroelectrical. During your fifth study year, you will undertake an individual project, as well as choosing from further specialised optional modules.
