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.
Campus Information
College Lane Campus
The main site of the university remains the College Lane campus, which houses the original Hatfield Technical College building. Notable among the buildings in this campus is the university's Learning Resource Centre, a combined library and computer centre. There is also a substantial collection of halls of residence and student houses, and the University of Hertfordshire Students' Union is headquartered at College Lane campus. The College Lane campus is also the location of Hertfordshire International College, which is part of the Navitas group, providing a direct pathway for international students to the University.

Job Opportunity Potential
Graduate employment opportunities are excellent whether you are interested in the civilian or defense side of the aerospace industry. Some students return from industrial placements with sponsorships and job offers. Past graduates have been employed on major projects such as the Airbus A380 or the Typhoon (EFA), or in the development of missile systems, satellites and space vehicles. The MEng route will give you an extra year of study and provide you with a broader and deeper understanding of the engineering industry, which will make you very attractive to employers.
