MEng (Hons) Aeronautical Engineering

The Master of Engineering (MEng) Aeronautical Engineering course combines our BEng (Hons) Aeronautical Engineering degree with Masters-level material. It allows you to distinguish yourself with an advanced set of professional and technical skills and removes the need to source further funding to study a Masters qualification. Aeronautical engineers apply their knowledge and skills to every aspect of air vehicles, from design, development, manufacture, flight testing and certification, to preserving airworthiness and sustainable aircraft operations. Youll study the engineering principles needed for a career in the aerospace industry, and youll gain practical experience on campus in our state-of-the-art Aerospace Centre. Weather permitting, youll also take to the skies with flight test lessons in your third year. Work placements and experience will complement your studies, along with visits to sites such as GE Aviation Wales, Airbus Filton and British Airways Maintenance Cardiff (BAMC).

This MEng Aeronautical Engineering course has been developed in collaboration with industry, ensuring quality and relevance to the modern working environment. The course meets the educational requirements to gain Chartered Engineer (CEng) status from either the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), or the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS). We have links with the regional aviation industry, which includes GE Aviation, BAMC, Nordam Europe, TES Aviation Group, and other members within the Aerospace Wales Forum. Some of the UK-based companies with which our students work include Rolls Royce, Sogeclair Aerospace, GE Aviation, MBDA, Zodiac, Easy Jet, Flybe, Airbus, BAMC, Gatwick Airport and TES Aviation.
