BEng (Hons) Aero-Mechanical Engineering at University of Strathclyde

Programme overview

BEng (Hons) Aero-Mechanical Engineering teaches the design, implementation and operation of devices, machines, engines and energy systems, including aircraft engines, control systems and landing gear. It is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Royal Aeronautical Society, and has an option to study abroad.

Faculty: Faculty of Engineering | Department: Department of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering | Duration: Four years (Years 1 to 4) | Study mode: full-time | Location: Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom

What you will study

Year 1 covers maths, mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics and electrical engineering, with engineering science integrated through Design and Engineering Applications modules plus electives. Year 2 covers the core of engineering subjects with applied mathematics and information technology (thermodynamics and fluid dynamics, dynamics and control, structural mechanics and materials) and two specialist aero modules introducing aircraft design and flight.

Career pathways

Aero-Mechanical Engineering graduates are recruited in aerospace, automotive, consulting, defence, energy, oil and gas and shipbuilding. Some continue to postgraduate study or research.

Entry requirements

Scottish Highers (standard entry): AAAB (Maths A, Physics A); in competitive admissions cycles, standard-entry offers are typically made only to BEng applicants who would also qualify for an MEng offer. Minimum entry: ABBB (Maths and Physics or Engineering Science). Advanced Highers in Maths and Physics recommended. A-levels: Year 1 entry ABB-BBB (Maths, Physics); Year 2 entry AAA-ABB (Maths, Physics). International Baccalaureate: Year 1 entry 34-32 (Maths HL5, Physics HL5); Year 2 entry 36-34 (Maths HL6, Physics HL6). International applicants: IELTS (Academic) 6.0 overall with no component below 5.5 (Faculty of Engineering undergraduate standard). Applicants likely to be made an offer are normally invited to visit the department between January and March. Deferred entry is not accepted. SQA Higher Applications of Mathematics is not accepted instead of Higher Mathematics; both IB Higher Level Mathematics pathways are accepted. Contextual offers (lower offers for widening-access applicants) are available.

Domestic applicants: GBP 9,790 a year (2026/27). Rest of UK (England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Channel Islands, Republic of Ireland) rate for full-time undergraduate programmes; Scotland-domiciled fee to be confirmed by the Scottish Funding Council Source

International applicants: GBP 30,950 a year (2026/27) Source
