Specialise in aerospace design, performance, analysis and systems. Develop the engineering skills for a career in the aerospace industry.In your first two years of study, you’ll focus on learning the core mechanical engineering principles and the role of a professional engineer. You’ll explore how to incorporate design into the science, manufacturing and management elements of engineering so that you can build, analyse and test a product.Building on this, you’ll go on to specialise by studying areas including aerodynamics, stability and control, propulsion, structures and performance. This helps you develop a full understanding of aircraft from design to manufacture. During your studies, you'll also visit a local airfield and take a flight test course.At Bath, we want to make sure you have the transferable skills engineers need in industry. You’ll develop complex problem solving and critical thinking skills as well as professional behaviours. You’ll explore how what you do as an engineer can impact the world around us and consider the ethical and environmental responsibilities this involves.Our course focuses on giving you opportunities to apply what you’ve learnt through practical project work. In your final year, you'll work on a full-time, semester-long, individual project. This could be simulation based or involve experimental measurements taken in the laboratory.Shape your degree experienceYou don't need to worry if you haven't made your mind up about whether to study a BEng or MEng yet. Once you're here at Bath, you'll have until the end of your second year to move between any of our BEng and MEng courses.Learn from experts in the fieldWe are invested in helping you get the most out of your learning experience. You’ll learn from academics with expertise in mechanical engineering and established links with industry. They have knowledge in design, manufacture, materials, automotive and aerospace. Their international collaborations and research activities feed into undergraduate teaching and contribute to your learning experience.Use specialist facilitiesYou’ll have access to teaching and research laboratories that support a range of practical activities and project work. We design our facilities to be like industrial workspaces so that you gain insight into what it is like to work in a professional environment. You’ll also have access to our research facilities, which are fitted with the latest technology. This is similar to the equipment you could use in industry when you graduate. Our facilities include:a design activity centrean undergraduate model shopsubsonic wind tunnelwater tunnelcarbon fibre manufacturing facilitymetal 3D printer
