Like the industry, our courses are interdisciplinary. You'll be taught by experts in applied mathematics, control and systems engineering, computer science, chemical and biological engineering, electronic and electrical engineering, materials science and management.

The way we teach is designed to give you the breadth and depth of knowledge employers look for. An aerospace professional needs to be able to communicate effectively with experts in different fields. By the time you graduate, you'll have plenty of experience with this.

Our forward-looking approach means we introduce you to developments and techniques that are still new to industry. We have strong partnerships with key players in the aerospace industry, including Airbus UK, BAE Systems, Boeing, EADS, Qinetiq and Rolls-Royce.

Each year our students enter national and international competitions to design and build model aircraft and unmanned air vehicles. You can also get involved in Formula Student, where student teams from around the world design, build, test and race a single-seat racing car.

Well-qualified engineering graduates are in high demand. We provide hands-on, tailored careers planning and guidance. There are career opportunities at managerial and specialist technical levels, and in consultancy.

Our graduates have gone on to work in aerospace design, aviation, transport, manufacturing, finance, energy and power, and the armed forces. Some continue to further study or research. Employers include Airbus, BAE Systems, BP, Ernst and Young, Jaguar Land Rover, Ministry of Defence, Nissan, Rolls-Royce, Price Waterhouse Coopers, Royal Air Force and Shell.
