BEng (Hons) Aeronautical Engineering

Aeronautical engineering is about how aircraft are designed, constructed and powered, how they are used and how they are controlled for safe operation. You’ll take part in practical laboratories, including running a jet engine test, and a flight-testing course in a Saab 340B aircraft during year 5 of the MEng. Aeronautical group design projects are undertaken in collaboration with BAe Systems on a real aircraft project. Students have access to State-of-the-Art experimental facilities which are part of the UK National Wind Tunnel Facility. Final year students will undertake a six month placement in industry, an overseas university or within University of Glasgow research facilities. The programme is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. We have several Engineering student societies, which include JetX, Design-Build-Fly and University of Glasgow Racing (UGR)
