BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering at Newcastle University

Programme overview

This three-year degree will equip you with essential skills to design, develop, and test aerospace systems such as aircraft, spacecraft, and satellite technology. You will develop the expertise to create innovative, sustainable solutions to global transportation challenges. Are you interested in finding solutions to global challenges like sustainably transporting people and goods?

What you will study

Stage 1 will provide a broad introduction to fundamental engineering principles. You’ll get involved in practical work from day one, working in an interdisciplinary team to complete an aerospace engineering design project bringing together all aspects of engineerings. Compulsory modules include: Engineering Mathematics I, Electrical and Magnetic Systems, Electronics and Sensors, Thermofluid Mechanics, Properties & Behaviour of Engineering Materials, Mechanics I, Aerospace Engineering: Fundamentals, Design and Professional Skills, Materials and Manufacturing for Aerospace, Aerodynamics and Thermofluid Mechanics for Aerospace, Aerospace Dynamic Systems and Control, Engineering Mathematics II, Mechanics II: Statics and Dynamics, AC Electrical Power & Conversion, Mathematical Modelling & Statistical Methods for Engineers.

Career pathways

The analytical, communication and problem-solving skills developed on this programme mean you'll be highly employable in more diverse industries, including banking, finance, and business management. Graduate roles and employers include: aerospace engineer; satellite engineer; aircraft design engineer; propulsion engineer; systems engineer; aerospace and aviation, such as Boeing, Airbus and Rolls Royce; space exploration and satellites, such as NASA and ESA; engineering and technology, such as Siemens and Honeywell Aerospace; automotive and transportation, such as Formula 1 teams and Tesla; renewable energy and environmental, such as Ørsted and Vestas.
