Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering (Industrial)

About this course

Aeronautical and aerospace engineering is concerned with the design, development, and operation of aircraft and spacecraft, applying the principles of physics, mathematics, materials science, and computing to create vehicles that operate at the extremes of human engineering capability. Aeronautical engineering focuses on aircraft that operate within the Earth's atmosphere; aerospace engineering extends into the design and operation of spacecraft and systems that operate beyond it. Together they address some of the most technically demanding problems in engineering, from the aerodynamics of high-speed flight to the structures and propulsion of orbital vehicles. At the University of Leeds this five-year programme includes an industrial placement year, giving you a substantial period of professional engineering experience before you graduate. You will develop strong foundations in aerodyna
