This course offers you the opportunity to study a more extensive range of advanced aerospace subjects than the BEng course. As in the BEng Aeronautics and Astronautics, you will gain a solid foundation in aerospace engineering such as aerodynamics, astronautics and propulsion along with a wider appreciation of the economic, legal and environmental issues associated with aircraft operations and aircraft performance. You can study from a broader range of subjects, including modern languages. Practical application is integral to our courses, providing students with hands-on engineering experience in our world-class facilities. You can also take the Industrial Placement Year, providing the opportunity for a year-long placement with an engineering-based organisation. This course is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) and the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. At Southampton, our students form knowledge and understanding through a combination of lectures, tutorials, classes, laboratory experiments, coursework and individual and group projects. You will broaden your formal learning by becoming an active student member of a professional institution and our student Engineering Society, SUES. We will also teach you the transferable skills to present written and oral presentations. After the completion of the course, 98% of students entered graduate-level jobs or further study within six months of graduation (Guardian University Guide, 2016). Our graduates now hold a variety positions including aerospace engineer, design technologist, Royal Air Force Officer and unmanned systems engineer. Some of the companies our students work for include Bombardier Transportation, British Army, William F1 Team and Jaguar Land Rover. You will benefit from a dedicated Employment Officer who will help build your skills profile and point you in the right direction. We also have connections with local, national and international employers as well as the University Careers and Employability Service.
