MEng Aerospace Engineering
About this course
Aerospace engineering is the branch of engineering concerned with the design, development, testing, and production of aircraft, spacecraft, and related systems. It encompasses aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, avionics, and systems integration, demanding the application of mechanical, electrical, and materials engineering principles in environments where performance, weight, reliability, and safety margins are tested to their limits. Aerospace engineers work on some of the most technically demanding projects in any field, from commercial airliners and military jets to satellites and spacecraft. At Teesside University, this full-time, four-year degree includes a sandwich year and work placement, ensuring that substantial industry experience is integrated into your studies. The programme takes a collaborative and team-based approach to engineering learning, reflecting the reality that aerospace projects are always delivered by multi-disciplinary teams. You will develop skills in engineering design and analysis, working on group projects that replicate the organisational and technical challenges of real aerospace development programmes, including the management of a project through from concept to manufacture. The sandwich year provides extended professional experience in an aerospace or engineering organisation. The typical entry tariff is 88 UCAS points. Aerospace engineering graduates are employed by aircraft manufacturers, aerospace defence companies, aviation authorities, space agencies, satellite developers, and engineering consultancies. The analytical and design skills of an aerospace engineer are also valued in adjacent sectors including automotive, motorsport, and advanced manufacturing. Many graduates pursue chartered engineer status through the relevant professional bodies. The sandwich placement frequently leads to graduate employment. Postgraduate study in aerospace engineering, aerodynamics, or materials science is available for those who wish to specialise or pursue research.
