Course description
BEng Aerospace Engineering helps prepare you for a number of careers (technical, specialist, research, managerial and financial). It aims to give you much more than just a theoretical knowledge of engineering science. BEng Aerospace Engineering will give you a solid base of practical skills, an understanding of design, the commercial world and competence in problem-solving, team working and creativity.
Career opportunities
Graduates from these degrees may enter Europe's aerospace industries or continue to postgraduate study in aerospace engineering. Aerospace engineers also find many employment opportunities in other branches of engineering where their transferable skills play important roles.
Moreover, the acquisition of high levels of attainment in transferable skills such as simulation, problem solving, design, management and modelling, enables a significant proportion of graduates to follow alternative careers in high level technology. The graduates are increasingly sought after for positions in the business, management and financial arenas.
