The first 2 years are the same across our Aeronautics and Astronautics degrees. They focus on core aerospaceengineering science.

The course has the perfect balance between theory and practice, with several opportunities for practical engineering experience.

You will visit industry and research establishments and learn workshop training and research techniques.

You'll take an induction programme with all our Aeronautics and Astronautics students. This will give you your first practical experience and the opportunity to get to know your fellow students.

We'll develop your design and programming skills and teach you to build and test engineering systems, components and mechanisms.

You'll also learn manufacturing skills in our workshops so that you can make your ideas a reality.

Core modules include topics such as:

aircraft operations and flight mechanics

design and computing

electrical and electronic systems

mathematics

thermofluids

mechanics, materials and structures

You'll build on your core knowledge from the first year, and increases your focus on Aeronautics and Astronautics disciplines. Compulsory modules include:

aerodynamics

astronautics

mechanics of flight

propulsion

These modules feature hands-on teaching, using facilities such as our wind tunnels, turbojet and rocket engine.

Youll take a systems design and computing module, and participate in a team project to design, create and test a robot, drone, responsive system or other device.

At the end of the second semester youll take a flight test course, in which experiments are performed on board a Jetstream aircraft.

You'll deepen your understanding of aircraft design, including their environmental impacts. Core modules include:

You'll chooseoptional modules from topics including:

You'll carry out an individual research project using many of the concepts that you've learnt over the previous 2 years. For example, students have investigated how to deflect asteroids, use 3D-printedmetal jet engines, design Formula-1 race-cars and build bio-inspired unmanned air vehicles.
