Aerospace Engineering with Industry MEng (Hons)

Course overview

Teesside University's MEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering with Industry degree builds on the extensive range of subjects included in the BEng (Hons) by providing advanced topics such as advanced aerodynamics and complex UAV design projects.

A choice of optional advanced modules allow you to broaden your knowledge and skills in subjects as diverse as Rotorcraft, Flight Simulation, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Production Management. You are taught by experienced staff with backgrounds in either industry, Royal Air Force or Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm who can bring real-life experience to the classroom. You have access to a wide range of laboratories which include flight simulators, a wind tunnel, fixed and rotary wing aircraft and aircraft components.

The course also incorporates a free flight test course in the second year. You fly in a Jetstream aircraft acquiring flight data as the aircraft undergoes a series of pre-planned manoeuvres. The data is, together with theory covered in the classroom, to calculate the flight and performance characteristics of the aircraft. Transportation, accommodation and the flight tests are provided free to Teesside University students on this programme.

Your degree combines an employability-enhancing curriculum with significant practical work, small manageable group sizes, and friendly and accessible lecturers.
