Report Recommend

The sky is not the limit, it is just the beginning. Aeronautics and astronautics encompasses a broad range of disciplines within the field of aerospace engineering.

Aeronautics and astronautics courses cover applications to the specification, design and construction of aircraft, engines, satellites and other spacecraft.

Course overview

This programme is aimed mainly at students whose primary interest is the design and operation of spacecraft and who aspire to work in the spacecraft industry. It is the only one of its kind in the UK, focusing on the engineering design and operation of a variety of space vehicles, including launch vehicles, satellites and space stations. Students following this programme have the opportunity to investigate the design and optimisation of a complete space system to meet a set of mission objectives. It presents an integrated approach to the total systems design of space vehicles, providing an insight into various component subsystems and their interrelationships.
