Luft- und Raumfahrttechnik (Hons)

As the first UK university to offer a degree in this field in 1907, we bring over a century of expertise to help you develop your skills in our world-class facilities. Our state-of-the-art aero lab features wind tunnels, a flight simulator, an anechoic chamber, and a jet engine simulator - giving you hands-on experience to propel your career forward. Our academic team are experts in all four areas of the field: aerodynamics, propulsion and power, aerostructures, and systems. We also bring in guest speakers from organisations such as Airbus and Altair Engineering. You’ll hear about specific issues, from the effect of pandemics on aviation to modern energy challenges. You'll even have the opportunity to analyse data on a real plane flight - thanks to our links with the National Flying Laboratory Centre. You’ll start exploring your options and growing your network throughout the course. Our Industrial Liaison Forum day is a chance to impress potential employers as you present your project findings. You should plan for 14 to 17 hours of formal teaching each week, plus time spent on group projects. For every hour spent in class, you’ll complete a further one to two hours of independent study.
