Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering

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 engineering to create vehicles that operate in the atmosphere and beyond. Aeronautical engineering focuses primarily on aircraft, while aerospace extends to rockets, satellites, and space exploration systems. Both require a mastery of aerodynamics, propulsion, structural mechanics, control systems, and the computational and analytical skills needed to model complex systems and optimise their performance. At the University of Leeds, this four-year full-time programme prepares you to work at the forefront of one of the world's most technically demanding industries. You will develop a thorough grounding in engineering fundamentals, including fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, structural analysis, an
