Course Overview

Science and technology advance civil and military aircraft design, development, and performance. Open up career opportunities in this field, and build the knowledge and skills to engineer the future of aircraft with an Aeronautical Engineering degree.

This foundation year pathway is designed to help you build a strong foundation of knowledge in crucial engineering and mathematic principles alongside essential higher education study skills. This is ideal if you want to study the full honors degree but don't meet the direct entry requirements or are returning to education.

Upon completing the foundation year, you will progress to the full BEng (Hons) Aeronautical Engineering degree.

You will:

  • Develop competence in essential areas of engineering and mathematics

  • Build the technical skills and confidence ready to progress to the full aeronautical engineering undergraduate degree

  • Gain essential analytical and problem-solving skills so you can study engineering

  • Develop practical and I.T skills as you strengthen communication and study skills

  • Progress on exploring elements of aircraft design, including aircraft structures, flight systems, navigation, aerodynamics, and performance
