Aerospace Engineering (Hons)

The Aerospace Engineering BEng and MEng programmes at Queen Mary University of London combine a century‑long tradition of innovation with a modern, industry‑linked curriculum. Students engage in core disciplines such as aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, and systems engineering, using state‑of‑the‑art facilities including wind tunnels, a flight simulator, an anechoic chamber and a jet engine simulator. The course structure allows study across three to five years, with options for a foundation year, a year in industry, or a year abroad, and includes extensive practical projects, design workshops and research collaborations with leading aerospace firms. Assessment blends coursework, laboratory reports, presentations and examinations, preparing graduates for roles in aircraft design, space exploration, sustainable transport and related engineering sectors. The curriculum integrates computational modelling, experimental testing and sustainability considerations, ensuring that graduates can contribute to low‑emission aircraft design and next‑generation space missions. Guest lectures from industry partners such as Airbus and Altair provide insight into current challenges, while the Industrial Liaison Forum offers networking opportunities with potential employers.
