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. To develop a full understanding of aircraft from design to manufacture, you’ll work with professional engineers from an aerospace manufacturer and take a flight test course at a local airfield.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.You can choose to move between any of our BEng and MEng courses up to the end of your second year. This empowers you to take your degree in a direction that best suits your ambitions.

AA in two Advanced Highers including Mathematics and Physics.We make offers based on Advanced Highers. You will typically be expected to have completed five Scottish Highers and your grades in these will be considered as part of your application. We prefer applicants who have achieved AAAAA in their Highers.
A pass in the Access to HE Diploma (in Science or Engineering) with at least 42 credits achieved at Distinction and 3 at Merit. This must include 12 credits from Mathematics units (including Calculus) achieved at Distinction and 12 credits from Physics units achieved at Distinction.Our Mechanical Engineering courses are academically challenging and require solid foundations of knowledge in Mathematics and Physics. We are able to consider Access to HE Diplomas in Science or Engineering, and we are looking for you to be studying a suitable level of Mathematics and Physics to be able to succeed in our courses. You will need to have studied Mathematics graded units worth at least 12 credits (including Calculus) and Physics graded units worth at least 12 credits.
36 points overall and 7, 7, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including 6 in Physics and 7 in either HL Mathematics.Mathematics is required at Higher Level.In exceptional circumstances we may be able to consider you if you are studying Standard Level Physics. Our typical offer in this instance would be 36 points overall with 7, 6, 6 in three Higher Level subjects including 7 in either HL Mathematics plus 7 in Standard Level Physics.
D*D*D* in the Cambridge Technical Level 3 Extended Diploma plus grade A* in A level Mathematics.You must be studying A level Mathematics alongside your Cambridge Technical qualification.We are able to consider Cambridge Technical qualifications in Engineering, and prefer you to study as many units as possible in Physical Science. Due to the mathematical content of the course, it is essential to have an A level in Mathematics alongside your Cambridge Technical qualification.
D*DD in the BTEC Level 3 National Extended Diploma (RQF) plus grade A* in A level Mathematics.You must be studying A level Mathematics alongside your BTEC qualification.We are able to consider BTEC qualifications in Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering and prefer you to study as many units as possible in Physical Science.We may also be able to consider BTEC qualifications in Applied Science, Construction and the Built Environment, and Building Services. Please contact us to discuss the suitability of your optional units before making an application.
