Aeronautical Engineering BEng (Hons)

If you want to work as an engineer or manager in the airline industry, this course is for you.
We place a strong emphasis on flight deck design on our Aeronautical Engineering degree, particularly the relationship between the pilot and modern fly-by-wire computer interfaces. Propulsion systems will be covered, including gas turbine engines, rocket engines, and internal combustion engines.
Get hands-on experience in our cutting-edge labs, which include a flight simulator capable of simulating Boeing and Airbus aircraft as well as helicopters, as well as a new computerized wind tunnel.
The computer-aided design (CAD) techniques you'll learn are those used by industry professionals, such as Finite Element Analysis and Computational Fluid Dynamics. Many of these subjects are taught in group projects, so you can apply what you've learned.
