What you will study

First-year students studying Aerospace Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, and Design Engineering, all start their degrees with a shared foundation of technical knowledge and a command of the skills that underpin modern engineering. You will share common units with your peers in other disciplines and work on an interdisciplinary project. In addition, a dedicated unit will introduce you to the fundamentals of aerospace engineering.

Career pathways

Accreditation by the Royal Aeronautical Society is a mark of assurance that your degree meets the academic standards of the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC). An accredited degree is a significant step towards registration as an Incorporated (IEng) or Chartered (CEng) Engineer.
