The programme is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society as a pathway leading to Chartered Engineer status.
You will study essential elements of aircraft design, including aircraft structures, flight systems, aerodynamics and design methodology.
You will undertake experimental and project work throughout your studies, culminating in a personal project in the final year. Other highlights of the final year include principles of advanced flight control, the aerodynamics of high speed vehicles, and structural analysis using finite element methods.
You will take a flight test programme prior to the final year, which is delivered by professional flight test personnel working from a local airfield. Using in-flight measurements, practical theories of aircraft behaviour are linked to principles taught in the classroom.
Your learning will be supported by tuition in maths, communication studies and group work skills. Successful completion of the placement leads to the award of a Diploma in Professional Studies.
Career opportunities exist in the design, manufacture and operation of aerospace vehicles. Openings may also be found in the many companies involved in designing and manufacturing major sub-units of aeroplanes and related aerospace vehicles such as engines, structural parts, avionics or environmental control systems.
