UCAS code: H402
Here's what University of Sheffield says about its Aerospace Engineering course.
You’ll study the research, design, development, construction and flight of aircraft on this course and gain a solid grounding in aerospace engineering. You'll also learn how to communicate effectively with people from a wide range of engineering disciplines.
Launch your career with this three year exploration of aerospace engineering theory, and hands-on practice of building and flying aircraft.
From a solid base of essential theories, you’ll explore propulsion, instrumentation, the computation and design of aerodynamics and aircraft control.
As you progress, you’ll tailor the degree to match your career path – choosing to focus on either avionic systems or aeromechanics, and completing an investigative project of your choice.
We’ll teach you how to manage a project from start to finish, and how to communicate with people from a wide range of engineering disciplines. In your final year, you'll work on a research project led by one of our world leading academics.
Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to fly and build aircraft, take part in national and international competitions, and ultimately graduate with the hands-on experience you need to progress in the aerospace industry.
This course is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Institution of Engineering and Technology and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining.
