Aerospace engineering at Kingston has an innovative curriculum, excellent links with industry and cutting-edge facilities. Kingston is the perfect place to study aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, dynamics and materials.
Students will put theory into practice, applying what they learn to aerospace design problems and participating in a group design project. The course is taught by the Department of Aerospace and Aircraft Engineering. Staff have a wide range of experience across research and industry and continue to practice and research at the cutting edge of their discipline. This ensures that courses are current and industry informed ensuring students get the most relevant and up-to-date education possible.
The Space Technology pathway is the same as the standard programme for the first two years, but students are expected to work on a space-related project in the Engineering Project Management module at level 5. In the final year, students must take Space Vehicle Design and work on a space related individual project and group project.
Graduates have gained jobs with Boeing, BAE Systems, Qinetiq, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Thales, General Electric and British Airways. Many graduates go on to study at masters and doctoral level.
