Career opportunities
Graduates from these degrees may enter Europe's aerospace industries or continue to postgraduate study in aerospace engineering. Aerospace engineers also find many employment opportunities in other branches of engineering where their transferable skills play important roles.
Moreover, the acquisition of high levels of attainment in transferable skills such as simulation, problem solving, design, management and modelling, enables a significant proportion of graduates to follow alternative careers in high level technology. Our graduates are increasingly sought after for positions in the business, management and financial arenas.
Course fees: Tuition fees for Home/EU students commencing their studies in 2009 will be approximately £3250 per year. These fees will be subject to change in the light of government announcements to all universities.
