About this course

Study Aerospace Engineering and by the end of your time at Liverpool, you will be able to show that you can now design, build, test and fly an aircraft.

Introduction

The Aerospace Engineering MEng is a four-year integrated Master’s degree developed to fast-track our graduates to become Chartered Engineers either with the Institution of Mechanical Engineers or the Royal Aeronautical Society.

As an aerospace engineering student, you will experience a wide variety of topics and modes of study, whether it be conducting research, analysing reports or designing and building an aircraft.

By studying the MEng, you will develop a greater depth and breadth and specialist knowledge in core aerospace subjects than on the three-year BEng degree programme. At the end of the degree you will be able to demonstrate further key skills required by employers in advanced modules such as advanced aerodynamics; advanced aerostructures; flight handling qualities; advanced guidance systems and enterprise studies.

As part of year four, you will be able to demonstrate your knowledge and understanding in the year four Capstone Design Project, a year long assignment where you will be asked to find solutions to industry challenges or create your own invention.

This programme also has a year abroad option, an incredible opportunity to spend an academic year at one of our partner universities. On the four-year integrated master’s programme, you can go abroad either between years two and three (apply in year two), or between years three and four (apply in year three).
