Why study aerospace engineering?

Engineering is where creative thinkers become world changers. An aerospace engineering degree will challenge you to ask questions, take risks and explore new perspectives.

You’ll turn ideas into reality, applying the principles of science and technology to the research, design, manufacture and certification of current and future aerospace vehicles.

If you’re fascinated by the history, technology and progress of aircraft and spacecraft, we’ll take your passion and transform it into career-shaping skill and experience.

Why UWE Bristol?

Our new inclusive, problem-based curriculum will broaden our engineering audience, enabling students from a wider range of backgrounds to pursue a career in engineering. To date, we’re the first university in the UK to transform our curriculum alongside constructing a new engineering building.

The course was accredited for the intakes from 2020-2022 by the Royal Aeronautical Society on behalf of the Engineering Council and re-accreditation is currently being sought for the intakes from 2023 onwards.

Our BEng(Hons) Aerospace Engineering has been designed with input from our regional aerospace partners. You’ll gain the practical skills needed to become future technical specialists and leaders within the aerospace industry.

You’ll be taught in our new state-of-the-art School of Engineering, designed to revolutionise the way engineering is taught. Featuring engine test cells, dedicated collaborative learning spaces and all the latest high-tech equipment, it’s purpose-built to support a wide range of engineering disciplines.
