Aeronautical engineering is about how aircraft are designed, constructed and powered, how they are used and how they are controlled for safe operation.

You’ll take part in practical laboratories, including running a jet engine test, and a flight-testing course in a Jetstream aircraft during year 5 of the MEng.

WHY STUDY AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERING?

  • Aeronautical group design projects are undertaken in collaboration with BAe Systems on a real aircraft project
  • Students have access to State-of-the-Art experimental facilities which are part of the UK National Wind Tunnel Facility
  • Final year students will undertake a six month placement in industry, an overseas university or within University of Glasgow research facilities
  • Accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers
  • You’ll take part in practical laboratories, including running a jet engine test, and a flight-testing course in a Jetstream aircraft during year 5 of the MEng
  • We have several Engineering student societies, which include JetX, Design-Build-Fly and University of Glasgow Racing (UGR)

CAREER PROSPECTS

Our recent graduates have been employed by organisations such as Prospect, Williams F1, Insyen, Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, the RAF, Fluid Gravity Engineer, Rolls-Royce plc, Rolls-Royce Derby, Thales and the Met Office.
