Here's what Kingston University says about its Aerospace Engineering with Professional Placement course.

Reasons to choose Kingston

• Both the MEng and BEng degrees are accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), leading to chartered engineer (CEng) status.

• You'll have access to cutting-edge equipment, such as a flight simulator, wind tunnel facilities, a rocket lab, advanced 3D printers and manufacturing workshops and a satellite ground station. You will participate in a flight test course, onboard a flying laboratory aircraft.

• Employability is a key element of the programme, and you'll enhance your skills throughout the curriculum including through industrial visits, placement, and co-and extra-curriculum activities. Students are encouraged to take part in the Formula Student Competition to design and make a race car.

About this course Aerospace engineering at Kingston has an innovative curriculum, excellent links with industry and cutting-edge facilities. Kingston is the perfect place to study aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, dynamics and materials.

You'll put theory into practice, applying what you learn to aerospace design problems and participating in a group design project.

The MEng has an extra year of study and can provide a faster route to chartered engineer (CEng) status. It also has the option to pursue an industrial placement.
