3-Term Foundation Certificate for Science and Engineering - Continue to Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Aerospace Engineering

Program Description

For students who have finished high school but don’t meet the entry requirements for university, a Foundation Certificate can help them gain entry to an undergraduate degree. After completing this pathway option students qualify for progression to the 1st year of an undergraduate degree at City, University of London. 

A student’s course length is determined mainly by their English language level (UKVI IELTS score). Students on all course lengths take a set of common or similar modules to gain a solid base of skills for university. Students taking a course longer than 2 terms, will take additional modules designed to improve one or more of their English language level, academic skills, and basic knowledge of particular subjects.

Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) - Aeronautical Engineering

The BEng (Hons) Aeronautical Engineering degree has been developed to educate students in the design, analysis and testing of aeronautical and aerospace vehicles and associated technology.

City was the first institution in the UK to introduce Aeronautical Engineering courses. The department has strong links with industry (local, national and global), maintaining partnerships through research projects and student placements. The course is designed in collaboration with industry, which is directly reflected in the emphasis on the professional and transferrable skills students will learn. Students will have the opportunity to undertake a year of industrial placement, which is a great way to get first-hand experience of the aeronautics industry.

City's approach is to encourage critical thinking and foster curiosity through both teamwork and independent study. The design exercises provide the opportunity for students to be engaged in cross-disciplinary challenges, preparing the way for tackling larger problems that span traditional engineering boundaries.
