Course overview

The BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering with Space Technology offers a specialised curriculum that builds upon the core elements of the BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering course. It focuses on the design of space vehicles, with an emphasis on rocket propulsion, space flight control, and satellite communication systems. A standout feature of this degree is the third/final year group design projects, where you collaborate with other aerospace students to design a complete aircraft. Additionally, you'll have the unique opportunity to work alongside to design space vehicles in partnership with a major space industry employer.

Why choose this course?

Gain hands-on experience with industry-standard facilities: You’ll have access to our flight simulators, wind tunnels, specialist laboratories and CAE software. You will be offered a flying course at a local flying school with one-to-one instruction on both fixed wing aircraft and helicopters.

Apply your knowledge through design and build projects: We are also members of the CDIO Initiative (Conceive Design Implement Operate), a worldwide network of academic professionals, industry representatives and engineering leaders who have a passion for engineering education and engineering leadership. The CDIO framework has been embedded into our undergraduate degree programme, ensuring you’ll put into practice what you learn through “Design and Build” projects during your studies.

Benefit from our strong links to industry: Our students have had work placements at companies such as Airbus, Virgin Atlantic Engineering and BAE Systems. Recent aerospace engineering graduates have gone on to work at organisations including The Royal Air Force, Jaguar Land Rover and BAE Systems.

Professional accreditations

This space technology engineering course is accredited by RAeS as detailed in the programme specification and satisfies, in part, the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) registration and in full, the academic requirements for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) registration for intake years 2022 to 2026.

Your future career

Career prospects for graduates are excellent across the space, aircraft, and defence sides of the aerospace industry. Graduates of this course are strong candidates for employment on projects such as the development of missile systems, satellites and space vehicles. An impressive 93% of our students are employed or in further study (Graduate Outcome, 2021/22). Many graduates have gone on to become:

production engineer
repair engineer
aircraft engineer.

What you'll study

In your first year, you will study the fundamental skills and knowledge required by a modern engineer including principles of flight and aircraft operations. In particular, you will be introduced to computer packages commonly used in aerospace industry.

In your second year, the first-year core themes are developed for application in aerospace engineering. You will learn about the design process through both group design and detail design work, and expand your knowledge of aerodynamics, with wind tunnel experiments. You will also have the opportunity to fly at a local flying school.

You may take a placement year if you wish, where you will gain excellent work experience, and this will be followed by your final year where for many, the Aerospace Design group project is the climax of your course where they can use your engineering skills and ingenuity to design a complete aircraft in a competitive environment. For others the self-confidence developed during the Individual Major Project that challenges them to research an aerospace relevant topic entirely by themselves using either the University or industrial facilities is the most rewarding part of your degree and can lead to future employment. There is also the opportunity for flying lessons.

The optional placement year is undertaken in the academic year prior to the final year of study, and must meet University standard requirements for the length of placement to be considered for the conferment of "with Sandwich" upon graduation. Students undertake the placement within an organisation that can provide an appropriate learning experience within an engineering or general STEM environment/role. To be eligible for placement, students must normally have achieved sufficient credit at Levels 4 and 5 to be able to enter the final year upon completion of the placement. While the School and University actively support the placements process ultimately it is the placement company that will select students, normally through an interview process.

Modern aircraft (either piloted or autonomous) are highly complex, integrated systems that arise from the application of a number of highly specialised fields including (but not limited to): Aerodynamics, Flight dynamics and control, Structural statics and dynamics, Avionics, Propulsion, Human factors. These are all blended together to achieve an aircraft that (hopefully) achieves all of its design requirements. Because of the interdisciplinary process of aircraft design, flight testing must also be interdisciplinary and is a crucial end-of-design process that evaluates the suitability and capability that the aircraft was originally designed for. This module develops the student s knowledge and analysis skills in testing procedures and equipment, flight test planning, and analytical skills in the analysis and evaluation of flight test data.

The major individual project occurs in either third or fourth (sandwich awards) year of study can take several forms ranging from design-oriented work to investigative work and research projects and placing their findings in the context of the application of real world engineering. Students are highly encouraged to propose their own topics for investigation. The project title and topic are chosen and moderated to provide an intellectual challenge appropriate to an honours programme of study in a specific engineering field. The student is expected to firstly identify and elucidate the problems through a critical review of a subject area and then plan, organise, and execute a significant individual programme of work related to a chosen field of study through the analysis and synthesis of results. Students should demonstrate initiative and creativity in applying skills, knowledge and experience gained from previous work in an individual practical, problem solving project. Student will be subjected to both end-point assessments and a continuous progress assessment that will assess the learning outcomes.
Integrated Aerospace Systems	15 Credits	Compulsory
The module introduces students to systems engineering approach and aircraft systems integration. Additionally, students will learn about Safety Management Systems (SMS) as mandated by International Civil Aviation Organisation and implemented by aerospace regulators such as European Aviation Safety Agency and the Civil Aviation Authority. The students examine the application of quality management in the aerospace industry, the four pillars of SMS, risk management (including human factors) and reliability engineering. Furthermore, students will learn how to mitigate security risks in the context of aerospace systems. Case studies will be used to evaluate the top-level architecture of systems, e.g. human, electrical and multidisciplinary projects such as Heathrow T5, and the interaction of sub-systems through verification and testing processes.
