The Aerospace Engineering MEng at the University of Leicester is your pathway to becoming an innovator in a field critical to global connectivity, defence, and exploration. You will delve into the core principles of aerodynamics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and structural dynamics, preparing you to tackle complex challenges in aircraft and spacecraft design. This rigorous programme is designed for aspiring engineers who possess a strong aptitude for mathematics and physics, and who are driven by a desire to understand and shape the future of flight and space travel.
This full-time, on-campus MEng is studied over five years, providing an integrated learning experience that progresses from foundational engineering principles to advanced specialisations. You will engage with practical applications through laboratory work, integrated design projects, and a significant individual project in your final year, potentially exploring areas like spacecraft systems or advanced gas turbines. Throughout your studies, you will develop essential skills in areas such as finite element analysis and control systems, graduating with the expertise and practical experience sought after by leading aerospace organisations worldwide.
