Year 1 provides an introduction to aerospace engineering under Professional Practice and will underpin the skills and knowledge required for further specialised study You will study a mix of analytical subjects such as mathematics structures dynamics electronics thermodynamics and engineering applications alongside an introduction to the profession of engineering

Core modules
Introduction to Engineering Design and Manufacture
Engineering Mechanics Structures & Materials
Engineering Mathematics and Computing Applications
Fluid Mechanics and Engineering Science

Year 2 will introduce you to specialised topics in aerospace engineering such as aerodynamics propulsion structures dynamics and materials It includes further study of mathematics electronics control and computing A design-orientated module Aerospace Engineering Design and Project Management will apply the principles taught in the other modules to problems of aerospace design

Core modules
Aerodynamics Propulsion and Analytical Methods
Electronic Systems Control and Computing
Engineering Project Management
Aerospace Structures Materials and Dynamics

In Year 3 you will deepen your knowledge of specialised aerospace engineering subjects and will broaden your expertise in other areas of engineering BEng students undertake a major group design project and an individual research project along with business and management as well as further and more in depth studies of aerodynamics propulsion structure materials and dynamics including applied computational techniques widely used in industry students have the opportunity of integrating industrial placement with further studies using a combination of work-based learning as well as blended and distance learning subject to accreditation by RAeS

Please note
Optional modules only run if there is enough demand If we have an insufficient number of students interested in an optional module that module will not be offered for this course

Extended degree with a foundation
If you would like to study one of our engineering degrees at Kingston University but are not yet ready for Year 1 of an undergraduate course a foundation is ideal Please see the engineering foundation course page for details
