Course summary

This degree is all about maximising your employability. You’ll follow the same academic programme as our standard aerospace engineering course, but you may have the opportunity to spend a year working in a graduate-level role in an engineering company.


Launch your career with this four year exploration of aerospace engineering theory and get hands-on practice building and flying aircraft.

From a solid base of essential theories, you’ll explore propulsion, instrumentation, the computation and design of aerodynamics and aircraft control. As you progress, you’ll tailor the degree to match your career path – choosing to focus on either avionic systems or aeromechanics, and completing an investigative project of your choice.By taking an industrial placement year, you'll spend a year working in a placement, in which you earn a salary and have reduced fees. While placements are not guaranteed and are your responsibility to source, you’ll receive plenty of advice and support from our dedicated Industrial Placement Year team.Links with companies such as Rolls-Royce, Boeing and BAE make Sheffield the right choice if you want to do a placement year – and mean we have world-famous companies joining us on campus for employability fairs and networking sessions.We’ll teach you how to manage a project from start to finish, and how to communicate with people from a wide range of engineering disciplines. In your final year, you'll work on a research project led by one of our world leading academics.Along the way, you’ll have the opportunity to fly and build aircraft, take part in national and international competitions, and ultimately graduate with the hands-on experience you need to progress in the aerospace industry.
