Aeronautical Engineering (with Foundation Year)

Course summary

The key aim of the Aeronautical 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. During the 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. You will have opportunity to transfer to an integrated-master’s degree course MEng Aeronautical Engineering at the end of your year 3 (level 5) study. You can also choose to study this degree without a foundation year BEng (Hons) Aeronautical Engineering (3 years) or with Industrial Placement year BEng (Hons) Aeronautical Engineering with Industrial Placement (4 years) *This course is subject to EAB accreditation.
