  • Objectives
    Our programmes differ from traditional aeronautical engineering courses in that they span a broad range of subjects from advanced materials and mechanical engineering through to computer science, electronic and electrical engineering and aerospace control systems. These are pulled together by the study of topics such as flight mechanics, propulsion, avionics and aerostructures.
