The Department of Aeronautics offers a standard MEng in Aeronautical Engineering and two separate streams: MEng Aeronautical Engineering with a Year Abroad MEng Aeronautical Engineering with a Year in Industry, All students follow a common programme of study for the first two years.
After this, students on target to achieve a 1st by the end of the second year (for placements in the USA or Singapore), or a minimum of a 2:1 for placements in Europe, may apply to transfer to our Year Abroad stream. Students on target to achieve a minimum of a 2:1, who have organised a suitable industry placement, may transfer to our Year in Industry study stream. All students should apply initially for this degree (H401).
The first year provides a solid introduction to broad-based physical and engineering subjects. The first two years also include management modules and a variety of non-technical modules through the Imperial Horizons programme. If you remain on the standard programme, you will study four core modules and a large selection of optional modules in the third year. The optional modules are varied and diverse, including subjects such as: Helicopter dynamics, Innovation management, Aircraft systems engineering and unmanned vehicle technologies, Project management.
You will also take part in a six-week design project at the end of the third year in which you replicate a real design office in either an aircraft company or a Formula One racing team. You will go through all the main stages in the design of a new vehicle, including aerodynamic profiling, structural design, engine sizing and autopilot synthesis. You will choose your role in the team according to your own preferences. In the fourth year, you continue to study a mixture of core and optional courses and a four-month individual project.
