Course summary
This integrated master's degree equips you with skills in design, construction, analysis and testing of aerospace systems. As an aerospace engineer, you will be a pillar of scientific and technical knowledge in air transport, defence and space, the UK's fastest growing engineering sectors. Prepare for a career in aerospace engineering and become instrumental in shaping the future of sustainable air transport, communications, security and space exploration. This course offers you high-level knowledge of analysis, design and operational tools of aerospace vehicles and their systems. We will develop your professional engineering skills over four years, focusing on innovative and sustainable solutions to current and future trends. Challenging design projects help demonstrate your skills to employers, while a fourth year helps you transition to professional practice.
- Benefit from strong links to industry and valuable external involvement in the degree programme
- Learn from City’s vision of sustainable engineering, a fundamental aspect of future aerospace engineering
- Study in world-leading test facilities, including our low turbulence wind tunnel and high-speed tunnel, belonging to the UK National Wind Tunnel Facility initiative
- Work with state-of-the-art experimental equipment and high-performance computational fluid solvers, both developed at City and supported by world experts

Assessment method
Assessment is by coursework and examinations. Group learning and communication skills are addressed through design studies and presentations. Practical and technical skills are assessed through laboratory work, data analysis and project reports. Grades obtained in each year count towards the final degree classification, with increasing weight given to the later years.
