Develop engineering, computational, and analytical skills, as well as the specific knowledge and experience required for careers in the aerospace industry. Before choosing to continue or transfer to another course, all students apply to this degree, MEng Aeronautical Engineering (H401).You'll gain a solid understanding of aerodynamics, lightweight structures, and structural mechanics, as well as flight mechanics. You will study mechatronics, flight mechanics, propulsion and turbomachinery during year two, as well as attend a flight-testing course at Cranfield University's National Flying Laboratory Centre. In years three and four, you can choose from an extensive range of optional modules on specialist topics, allowing you to focus on aeronautical engineering areas of interest and access cutting-edge research. A group project in year three gives you the chance to simulate the work of a design team to take a design concept through different stages. During year four, you will complete a variety of advanced modules and an individual research project to allow you to pursue your own research.

**Professional accreditation**This degree is professionally accredited by the following organisations on behalf of the Engineering Council:- Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS)- Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE).

Year Abroad (4 year): During your final year, you'll carry out an integrated year abroad where you can challenge yourself academically and culturally. In the four-year course, the year abroad replaces your final year at Imperial, with all of your studies carried out at the partner institution.

Year Abroad (5 year):The final year involves conducting a research project, either in conjunction with a Department's specialists and academics and their research group, or working with an internationally reputed engineering company.

Year in Industry: Between the third and fourth years of your degree, you complete an industrial placement with an aircraft manufacturer or Formula 1 racing team. The fifth year involves conducting a research project, either in conjunction with a Department's specialists and academics and their research group, or working with an internationally reputed engineering company.
