Aeronautics and Astronautics Spacecraft Engineering University of Southampton

Overview

The  Aeronautics and Astronautics Spacecraft Engineering MEng course offered by the University of Southampton looks at the science, engineering and manufacture of aircraft and spacecraft. You'll learn how they operate within our atmosphere and in space.

On this spacecraft engineering degree you’ll study the general principles of aerospace engineering, then take more advanced modules specialising in the design and operation of spacecraft, and their environmental impact.

In year 3 on MEng Aeronautics and Astronautics with Spacecraft Engineering you'll complete an individual research project and in year 4 you’ll participate in a group design project.

You’ll have access to our extensive facilities, which include:

• dedicated student design studios and workshops
• the largest wind tunnel in any UK university
• state-of-the-art jet engine and space propulsion facilities
• flight simulator
• professional manufacturing centre

As part of this aeronautics and astronautics spacecraft engineering course you can:

• showcase your work in our annual Engineering Design Show
• attend site visits to experience engineering in practice
• apply your engineering knowledge to solve a real-world problem

You can take this course with an additional year-long, paid placement. Apply with UCAS code H400 for the Industrial Placement Year option.
