Aeronautical and aerospace engineering is a rapidly growing field in the UK, offering many career opportunities in research, development, testing, and maintenance.
This course introduces you to the core principles of aeronautical engineering, covering topics like how air flows over aircraft, designing aeroplanes, controlling flight, powering aircraft, flight simulation, and aircraft structures.
Career paths include working in aerodynamics, designing and maintaining wind turbines, managing aviation projects, working in the defence sector, and providing maintenance, repair, and operation (MRO) services for aircraft.
Key Features:
- Accredited by the Institute of Engineering and Technology, setting you on the path to becoming a Chartered Engineer.
- Study specialized subjects like Aircraft Structures, Flight Dynamics, Propulsion Systems, and the design and maintenance of both manned and unmanned aircraft.
- Learn from experts who have worked with international research institutions in India, Russia, and Austria.
- Gain hands-on experience with our AIRFOX DISO simulator, which is part of the program and gives you real-world flight simulation skills.
- Use our low-speed wind tunnel to learn about aerodynamics, test aircraft models, and develop important experimental skills.
- Access industry-standard software like MATLAB, ANSYS, and OpenFOAM, used widely in aeronautical engineering, to prepare you for work in the field.
- Join student societies like DMU Flyers to meet peers and develop practical skills.
