Aerospace Engineering - MEng (Hons)

Nottingham Trent University

Among the fastest-growing industries in the UK, aeronautical and aerospace engineering offers a range of career prospects in research and development, testing, and maintenance. So we’ll train you up in everything you need to know, looking outside of traditional aerospace boundaries, and focusing on the future flight where you’ll explore novel propulsion and drone technology. Sustainability is a particularly pertinent issue for engineers as many products are designed to have short life-span. That’s why we teach you sustainable design which facilitates the re-use, re-purposing or recycling of materials and components – it’s the focus of one of your first year projects and we have a whole module dedicated to it in your final years. You’ll be learning from the best, with our expert lecturers and researcher who have extensive aerospace industry experience. Additionally, you will work on live industry projects and hear from guest speakers, both on campus and on company visits, to gain the latest knowledge of trends and techniques. ### What’s the difference between our BEng and MEng courses? * This MEng (Hons) is a four-year course that leads to a single postgraduate qualification. The first two years are the same as our BEng course, with advanced, Masters-level study then spread across the third and fourth years. * The [BEng (Hons)](https://www.ntu.ac.uk/course/science-and-technology/ug/beng-hons-aerospace-engineering) is a three-year undergraduate course — or four years if you choose to complete a work placement. If your academic performance is strong enough over the first two years, we’ll automatically offer you a place on the MEng course. ### Foundation year option * We offer [BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering (with foundation year)](https://www.ntu.ac.uk/course/science-and-technology/ug/aerospace-engineering-with-foundation-year), which you can apply for if you don't meet the entry criteria for this course. See our course page for foundation modules. This extra year will give you a solid foundation in maths, engineering and science, allowing you to progress on to BEng Aerospace Engineering or one of our other Engineering BEng courses in the School.
