Course Overview

At NTU, we are developing Aerospace Engineers who are ready to solve practical engineering problems facing the aerospace industry. Aeronautical and aerospace engineering is one of the fastest-growing industries in the UK. You’ll leave us well equipped to face today’s challenges and, as we focus on the future of flight, you’ll be ready for the industry's next big challenges.

Sustainability is a particularly pertinent issue for engineers as many products are designed to have a short lifespan. That’s why we teach you sustainable design which facilitates the re-use, re-purposing, or recycling of materials and components – it’s the focus of one of your first-year projects and we have a whole module dedicated to it in your final years.

You’ll be learning from the best, with our expert lecturers and researchers who have extensive aerospace industry experience. Additionally, you will work on live industry projects and hear from guest speakers, both on campus and on company visits, to gain the latest knowledge of trends and techniques.
