MEng Aeronautics and Astronautics / Spacecraft Engineering

Take your engineering abilities to the final frontier of human endeavour. You’ll explore many aspects of aerospace engineering, including the design and manufacture of fast-moving air and space vehicles. You'll then specialise in spacecraft systems engineering, to prepare you for a career in the space industry and beyond. Aeronautics and Astronautics looks at the science, engineering and manufacture of aircraft and spacecraft. You'll learn how they operate within our atmosphere and in space. On this spacecraft engineering degree you’ll study the general principles of aerospace engineering, then take more advanced modules specialising in the design and operation of spacecraft, and their environmental impact.In year 3 on MEng Aeronautics and Astronautics with Spacecraft Engineering you'll complete an individual research project and in year 4 you’ll participate in a group design project.You’ll have access to our extensive facilities, which include:dedicated student design studios and workshopsthe largest wind tunnel in any UK universitystate-of-the-art jet engine and space propulsion facilitiesflight simulatorprofessional manufacturing centre
