University of Hertfordshire

Hatfield , England ,United Kingdom

MEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering

Like the BEng, this course specializes in aircraft design, especially aircraft structures, materials, and aerodynamics. You’ll follow the same pathway as the BEng programs, but in your extra year, you’ll deepen your knowledge and understanding of aerospace topics. You’ll also sharpen your business and management skills. The team project is multidisciplinary and involves applying your skills to solve an unusual and challenging problem, for example, the design of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for surveillance on Mars. You can also participate in competitions such as the BMFA Heavy Lift competition, where you and your fellow students have the chance to design and build your own UAV and compete against teams from across Europe.
