Aerospace Engineering (Space Technology)

If you dream of developing and engineering the aircraft and spacecraft that connects earth with space, our Aerospace Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons) degree could be the right launchpad. 

This course has an innovative curriculum, excellent links with industry and cutting-edge facilities. As a result, Kingston is the perfect place to study aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, dynamics and materials.

Throughout the course, you'll put theory into practice by applying what you learn to aerospace design problems. You’ll also participate in a group design project to give you a chance to experience the development process in a work-like environment.

You can choose whether to take the BEng or MEng version of this course. The MEng has an extra year of study and can provide a faster route to chartered engineer (CEng) status. However, both courses provide the option to pursue an industrial placement, which can boost your employability even further. In addition, you can take our specialised Space Technology pathway, if you know that’s the area you want to work in after graduation. 

Whatever you choose, employability is a key element of this programme. As a result, you'll enhance your skills throughout the course through industrial visits, placements, and extra-curricular activities. Students are also encouraged to take part in our Formula Student Competition, which involves designing and making a race car.
