The MEng Aeronautical Engineering degree is a four-year first degree that delivers the breadth and depth that you will need in the world of engineering. It is designed to produce graduates who will go on and lead engineering teams. Your first two years offer you a broad-based engineering education. You then specialize in Aeronautical Engineering in your third and fourth years. It is important to highlight that you can transfer between the different Engineering programs that we offer (Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, Electronic, etc.) up until the end of the second year, provided that you meet the relevant progression requirements. We believe that students should make an informed decision about their futures and allowing our students to transfer between programs, once they understand the different disciplines, demonstrates our commitment to this and the Departments General Engineering philosophy.
