Aerospace Engineering with Management

Overview

We aim to instil not just a theoretical knowledge of engineering science, but also a solid base of practical skills, an understanding of design, comprehension of the commercial world and competence in transferable skills (problem solving, team working, creativity and IT).

Engineering is not just about technology. It is about people, companies, manufacturing and commerce. Engineering decisions must normally be made within a commercial context and engineers are often found in senior management positions where they are required to be leaders and strategic planners, as well as problem-solvers and designers. Combining engineering with management produces a lively, interesting and multidisciplinary degree, with excellent career prospects for graduates.

You emerge from this degree as a well-rounded graduate with not only a solid engineering training, but also a useful insight into the commercial world. This will equip you for a wide range of careers, including general management and sales, as well as jobs in more technical fields.

Aims

This Aerospace Engineering with Management course offered at The University of Manchester aims to give you a comprehensive knowledge of engineering science and a strong base of practical skills. The course will develop your competence in transferable skills, particularly team working, creativity and adaptability, as well as enabling you to specialise in advanced Aerospace engineering topics.

Our MEng course gives you hands-on industrial and commercial experience to boost your career prospects and therefore our graduates  are well prepared to take up leadership positions in a successful career in industry.

Career opportunities

Graduates are equipped to enter the global aerospace and defence industries, or continue on to postgraduate study.  The enormous range of career opportunities reflects the diverse and multidisciplinary nature of the aerospace sector.  Acquiring high levels of attainment in transferable skills such as simulation, problem solving, design, management and modelling enables graduates to adapt to new challenges and offers broad insight into engineering solutions. 

Accreditation

All our  Aerospace Engineering degrees are fully accredited  - Chartered Engineer CEng is the highest professional qualification for engineers. It is recognised internationally and renders you eligible for the European Ingenieur (Eurling) qualification.
