Studying an Aerospace Engineering degree gives students expert training in the theory and operation of aeronautical vehicles, from jet-powered and propeller-driven planes to gliders and helicopters. Students will learn about the full engineering journey, from concept on the ground to handling in the sky. Whether their main interest concerns design, analysis, testing or flight, at Swansea they have it covered.
This multi-disciplinary course provides a real world insight into the atmosphere of the planet and the cosmos beyond, as well as the technologies needed to explore them.
As students progress, their developing analytical abilities will combine with hands-on experience of state-of-the-art equipment, establishing skills which are vital to securing employment in the wider aerospace industry.
In the first year students can take a flying lesson and throughout their course will be working with facilities like the Merlin MPX521 Engineering Flight Simulator, the JetCat P120 Engine and multiple wind tunnels ensuring they are always fully up to speed.
