Aerospace Engineering

About this course

Aerospace engineering is the discipline concerned with the design, development and testing of aircraft, spacecraft, rockets and the systems that sustain flight and space operations. It draws on aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, materials, avionics and systems engineering, applying them to the extraordinary engineering challenge of making machines that fly reliably and safely in some of the most demanding environments imaginable. At the University of Sheffield this four-year programme develops both breadth and depth across the full range of aeronautical and aerospace engineering, building the technical capability and professional skills that employers in the sector actively seek. You will study the core aeronautical engineering sciences of aerodynamics, flight mechanics, structural analysis, propulsion and materials alongside the systems engineering perspective that is increasingly c
