Aerospace Engineering

About this course

Aerospace engineering is the discipline that designs, builds, and operates aircraft, spacecraft, rockets, and the systems that guide and propel them. It divides broadly into aeronautical engineering, which focuses on vehicles that fly within Earth's atmosphere, and astronautical engineering, concerned with spacecraft and operations in space. The field requires a deep command of fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, structural analysis, propulsion systems, materials science, avionics and control systems, and manufacturing engineering, making it one of the most technically demanding and multi-disciplinary of all engineering specialisms. Aerospace engineers work on projects that push the boundaries of what is technically feasible, from commercial airliners designed for fuel efficiency to satellites, launch vehicles, and human spaceflight. At the University of Manchester, this five-year full-ti
