Aerospace Engineers research and develop aircraft and associated technologies. The subject is generally divided into aeronautical engineering, which concerns atmospheric vehicles such as planes, and astronautic engineering, which focuses on aircraft and components that leave the atmosphere, such as satellites.
Aerospace Engineering modules cover several related disciplines, all necessary to create a full engineering team. They include fluid mechanics, mathematics, software design, propulsion, and materials science. An emphasis on technical and management skills, as well as math, physics, and fluid mechanics, means that other branches of engineering and research are open to graduates.
Aerospace Engineering graduates find roles in areas such as aircraft and component design, aircraft manufacture, maintenance and testing, flight simulation, patent engineering, systems engineering and structures engineering.
Aerospace Engineering employment opportunities are available at a range of companies involved in the design and manufacture of aircraft and associated aspects of the industry. Huge companies such as Rolls-Royce Engines, British Airways, Airbus, BAE Systems, and the Ministry of Defence constantly recruit UK Aerospace Engineering graduates.
