Course overview

This four-year course combines years one, two and four of our MEng Aerospace Engineering with the chance to spend your third year in Europe.

Years one and two cover underpinning material organised into three streams:

aerodynamics

dynamics and control

structures and materials.

These subjects are specialised from year one and are taught with aerospace applications and examples.

You will also learn skills that cross all the streams, such as computing, systems engineering and design, and language units to prepare you for your year abroad.

If you achieve the required grades in your first two years you will spend your third year at a European institution, where you will study in the language of your host country. These studies will be equivalent to the third year at Bristol.

You will return to Bristol for your fourth year and choose from a range of options. Some options relate to particular application areas, such as helicopter aerodynamics, space systems or wind power. Others study particular technologies, such as composites analysis or experimental aerodynamics, or you can choose to undertake a research project.

This course combines the challenging and broad academic content of our aerospace engineering degrees with an overseas dimension which reflects the pan-European nature of the modern aerospace industry.
