3 good reasons to study Aeronautical Engineering at Salford
- Accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) and Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE)
- Study essential elements of aircraft design
- Undertake experimental and project work in aeronautical engineering
Course Summary
Aeronautical Engineering is primarily the application of scientific and technological methods to research, design, development, maintenance and performance testing of both civil and military aircraft including the structural components and on-board systems. Typical areas of specialism include disciplines such as propulsion, computational fluid dynamics, aerodynamics, materials and structures.
This accredited engineering degree is designed to produce graduates who display technical and commercial leadership with a personal commitment to professional standards, recognising obligations to society, the profession and the environment.
You will be encouraged to use our three flight simulators to enter national competitions. Salford have won such competitions twice.
Aeronautical Engineering can be studied with an optional industrial placement year between levels 5 and 6, which you arrange with our support. Successful completion of an industrial placement year will add 'with Professional Experience' to your degree title.
The sandwich year can also be pursued in Europe if you have the appropriate language qualifications.
Thanks to the generosity of University of Salford donor and Chairman of Morson Group, Gerry Mason, we were delighted to be able to offer five scholarships specific to students beginning courses in September 2016 across all disciplines of engineering and will have ten more on offer in 16/17 and fifteen in 17/18.
