Aerospace Engineering

During the Aerospace engineering degree program delivered by Teesside University you will develop knowledge and key skills in advanced aerospace structures, advanced fluid dynamics, finite element methods, sustainability, space mission analysis and trajectory design, and supply chain management.

Key Facts

You have access to our flight simulator, wind tunnel, materials and manufacturing labs, structural test labs and scanning electron microscope. You also learn how to use industry-standard software such as the General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT), NASA’s open-source software, Siemens NX and Ansys Fluent. The General Mission Analysis Tool (GMAT) is the world’s only enterprise, multi-mission, open-source software system for space mission design, optimisation, and navigation. The system supports missions’ in-flight regimes ranging from low Earth orbit to lunar, libration point, and deep space missions.

Most aerospace engineering graduates seek careers in companies directly or indirectly linked to the aerospace industry. However, the skills and knowledge you acquire are also relevant to other sectors such as the automobile, engineering process, oil and gas, electronics, electrical engineering and renewable energy industries.

Our BEng/MEng graduates from Aerospace Engineering course have secured work/placement opportunities with Airbus, BAE Systems, EDF Energy, Rolls-Royce, GE Aviation, Qinetiq, Cobham, Jacobs Engineering Group, Cummins, Labman, Caterpillar and others.
