This four year degree program covers all aspects of aeronautical engineering, including aerodynamics, propulsion, flight structures, design, the mechanics of flight and control systems.

Students in this program can expect to study the following areas:

• aircraft structure and materials,including the design of new concepts and optimisation of vehicles
• the movement of air around an aircraft analysed by using CFD and wind tunnel testing
• the study of flight dynamics and stability and the impact of aircraft design on flight characteristics
• the development and use of flight control systems
• the opportunity to undertake practical flying training. Some students continue to fly and obtain their pilots licence.
  
• exposure to the latest software packages used by professional engineers in modern aircraft.
• A strong theoretical base is also provided and is crucial in terms of keeping up with the profession’s rapid technological change
