Aeronautics and Astronautics with Industrial Placement Year

About this course

Aeronautics and astronautics is the engineering discipline concerned with the design, development and operation of aircraft and spacecraft. It is among the most technically demanding areas of engineering, requiring mastery of aerodynamics, structural mechanics, propulsion systems, materials science, control engineering and systems integration, and applying them to objects that must perform reliably in extreme conditions and at the edge of human technological capability. Whether the goal is a commercial airliner, a racing car, a launch vehicle or a satellite, the principles are demanding and the consequences of error are severe. This five-year full-time degree at the University of Southampton includes an industrial placement year, giving you extended professional experience in the aerospace or related engineering industry as part of the programme. You will learn to design future aircraft
