Aerospace Engineering with Foundation Year

About this course

Aerospace engineering is one of the most technically demanding and culturally significant branches of engineering. It is concerned with the design, development and testing of aircraft, spacecraft and related systems, and it draws on aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, materials, avionics and systems engineering to solve some of the hardest engineering problems encountered in civilian and defence aviation, space exploration and beyond. The industry is undergoing rapid transformation, with commercial space access, electric aviation, unmanned aerial systems and next-generation propulsion all creating new challenges and opportunities for engineers. At the University of Surrey, this four-year full-time programme, which includes a foundation year for students who need additional preparation in mathematics and physics before entering degree-level engineering study, develops the skills and kn
