Overview

Key features

Whether you study for the BEng or the MEng, your Aerospace Engineering degree at the University of Leicester  starts by providing a broad engineering foundation, which includes mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering subjects.

Specialised lectures on topics such as flight dynamics, aircraft navigation, aero-engine design, aerospace materials and aircraft performance may be given by visiting lecturers from aerospace industry companies. You will have the opportunity to attend a practical flight test course or to use a flight simulator to enhance your knowledge and skills in aerospace engineering.
