MEng Aerospace Engineering with Management

The MEng Aerospace Engineering with Management will provide you with a broad, well-balanced preparation for a professional career in the aerospace industry, with a specialism in management.

As a graduate from the University of Manchester, you'll also gain skills useful for work in other areas, such as an understanding of design, comprehension of the commercial world and competence in transferable skills (problem solving, team working, creativity and IT). You'll be taught using interactive learning approaches and using cutting-edge and industry-standard tools. 

The final year combines engineering science taught in previous years into multi-faceted, commercially-realistic projects allowing you to demonstrate your applied skills in addition to your technical skills. Additional specialist units will allow you to focus on advanced topics taught by world-leading researchers.   

As well as all this, specialist management focused units enable you to plan large engineering projects in addition to developing your technical skills. 

And the degree also provides an excellent route for you should you wish to proceed to further postgraduate research.

The sky really is the limit! 

The course will give you the skills necessary for a successful career in industry. In addition, you will gain a route into postgraduate research that is tailored to individual areas of interest, either in a more specialised area of Aerospace Engineering  or move into a different engineering or technical discipline.

When you complete the course, you will have:

• A comprehensive knowledge of engineering science and a strong base of practical skills
• The skills to begin a successful career in industry
• Transferable skills, particularly team working, creativity and adaptability
• A route into more specialised postgraduate study 

Learn in our brand-new, purpose-built space for innovation and creativity that is transforming the way our students study, research, and shape the world forever. Explore Our Home for Engineering and Materials .

The course is taught via a combination of lectures, tutorial classes, practical laboratory sessions and computer-based sessions. There is a design project each year, which involves teamwork in small groups, and allows students to apply and develop their problem-solving and project management skills.  In the third year each student undertakes an individual project, allowing them to pursue a particular subject or application area in greater depth.

Most course units are assessed through an examination at the end of the semester and coursework which is undertaken throughout the year.  Parts of the coursework are, in many instances, associated with practical laboratory sessions, whilst others may be based on problem sheets, reports etc. A few subjects, for example Design, are assessed purely on coursework. For detailed information about how different subjects are assessed, please see the course unit specifications below.

Come to our Home of Engineering and Materials - a place like no other. This is where engineers, material scientists, and fashion students collaborate, innovate and make their mark on the world. Unleash your potential in our creative, academic playground that signals the evolution of a proud history of innovation spanning almost 200 years.

In this very special place, we’re ripping up the rule book, offering you a truly innovative teaching and learning experience. As well as our creative classrooms, you’ll also have access to world-leading sustainable research facilities in our new buildings.

Our variety of spaces allows for greater collaboration for all our students, and it is the place to connect and tackle real-life challenges together. So, a civil engineer designing futureproof buildings will bump into aerospace engineers researching satillites and drones, and a chemical engineer sat alongside a materials scientist working on clean water. It is a place like no other for interactions and one of the biggest communities of engineers and materials scientists in any University in the world.

Dive into a world of possibilities, whether you are interested in aerospace, robotics, or sustainable fashion, there’s a home for you here.
