Aerospace Engineering

About this course

Aerospace engineering is the discipline concerned with the design, development, and operation of aircraft and spacecraft, and it draws on some of the most demanding areas of mathematics, physics, and engineering science. From the aerodynamics of a wing to the thermodynamics of a jet engine, from structural mechanics to guidance and control systems, the field demands both analytical rigour and practical creativity. It is also a discipline of genuine consequence: aerospace engineers work on technologies that connect the world, support national security, open access to space, and increasingly address pressing questions about sustainable flight. This four-year full-time degree at the University of Brighton includes a sandwich year and work placement experience, giving you the chance to spend time working in industry before you complete your studies. You will study the core principles of aer
