Visas and immigration advice

Why choose Brighton?

•  
• Learn with researchers who have expertise in the thermal efficiency of propulsion systems and microgravity research with the European Space Agency.
•  – working to solve energy challenges.
• Specialist facilities include flight and car simulators, wind tunnel, prototyping labs and workshops, CNC machines, and robotics and VR labs.
• Professional engineers visit to share their experiences in guest lectures.

Year 1

The syllabus focuses on both the practical and theoretical elements of aerospace engineering.

Modules

• Engineering Systems

  Engineering Systems is an opportunity to work in groups with students from different disciplines to solve complex real-world engineering problems, including legal, ethical and environmental issues. Alongside developing your skills in fully integrated sub-systems, the group work will enhance your professional working practice skills.

• Group Project

  Working in small groups you'll undertake an engineering project investigating a technical problem in depth. You'll develop your project management and team work skills while working in a group.  Examples of project could be design of a robot, development on an electric car and an automated vision inspection system.

• Aircraft Design and Management Project

  This module develops the knowledge and skills that you need to design aircraft and aircraft components. Through a project-based approach, you'll develop the ability to understand and apply engineering techniques that underpin aeronautical design, and explore the management and professional techniques involved in releasing aeronautical designs into the marketplace.

• Aerospace Propulsion Systems and Avionics

  On this module you'll further develop your knowledge of aircraft propulsion and explore the principles of general aircraft avionics, in particular communication and navigation systems. You'll focus on gas turbine engines and satellite/ground-based radion navigation systems.

• Professional Practice in Engineering

  This module helps you to develop your professional identity. You'll practice professional skills from networking to good practices in the lab, seeing yourself as an engineer in the professional world and working on your own professional learning goals.

Making sure that what you learn with us is relevant, up to date and what employers are looking for is our priority, so courses are reviewed and enhanced on an ongoing basis. When you have applied to us, you’ll be told about any new developments through .

Staff profile

, aerospace engineering course leader

I lead the Aerospace Engineering courses at the 香蕉直播 and my expertise is in experimental aerodynamics. I love teaching students about the physics of flight, flight dynamics and aircraft design.

Students engage in a variety of activities to enhance their hands-on experience and connect their learning to real-world engineering. In our labs, students conduct wind tunnel experiments to explore aerodynamics and test their design concepts and perform computational fluid dynamics simulations to deepen their understanding of fluid behaviour and its applications in engineering. 

• First-year students design, test, and launch water rockets on a special Launch Day, applying their engineering skills in a fun and celebratory event.
• In their final year, students have a chance to see their designed aircraft take flight, putting their cumulative knowledge into action. 
• Those who join project teams led by our colleagues may also participate in parabolic flight campaigns, providing a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects with real-world applications. 

These experiences not only enrich their education but also demonstrate how their learning directly applies to the field of engineering. Students also have opportunities to get involved in my research on renewable and sustainable energy.

Recently a group of students analysed wing design modifications experimentally and numerically as part of their major team project.

What I enjoy most about teaching at undergraduate level is fostering a deep understanding of the fundamentals of aerospace engineering in students by research and practice informed teaching. Witnessing their growth as they grasp complex concepts and apply them to real-world scenarios is truly rewarding.

Course fees

The fees listed here are for the first year of full-time study if you start your course in the academic year 2025–26.

You will pay fees for each year of your course. Some fees may increase each year.

UK undergraduate and some postgraduate fees are regulated by the UK government and increases will not be more than the maximum amount allowed. Course fees that are not regulated may increase each year by up to 5% or RPI (whichever is higher).

If you are studying part-time your fee will usually be calculated based on the number of modules that you take.
