Our Aerospace Engineering degree gives you expert training in the theory and operation of aeronautical vehicles, from jet-powered and propeller-driven planes to gliders and helicopters. You will learn about the entire engineering journey, from concept on the ground to handling in the sky. Whether your primary interest is design, analysis, testing, or flight, we have it covered at Swansea! This course provides a real-world insight into the atmosphere of our planet and the cosmos beyond, as well as the technologies needed to explore them. You will develop your analytical abilities whilst gaining hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment vital to securing employment in the broader aerospace industry.
Variable offers depend on subjects studied, and all applications are considered individually, with GCSE grades, AS Level subjects and grades, work experience, references and personal statements taken into account.
Or 32 overall with either 5 at HL (or 6 at SL) “Mathematics: analysis and approaches”, or 5 at HL (or 7 at SL) “Mathematics: applications and interpretation”
Students studying for BTEC qualifications in relevant subjects require D*D*D* - D*D*D to include B at Level Mathematics. If they are not taking Level Mathematics, they must achieve a minimum D in the ‘Mathematics for Technicians and D in the ‘Further Mathematics for Technicians modules of the BTEC. Students must also have a minimum of two A grades at GCSE, including a minimum degree B in Mathematics and two other Science subjects.
