MEng Aerospace Engineering with a Year in North America

  • Objectives This course, which is similar to our standard four-year MEng course, enables you to spend the third year studying aerospace engineering at a leading university in the USA or Canada. This provides the opportunity to experience a different culture and develop international business skills in addition to taking engineering courses. You then return to Sheffield and rejoin your original peer group for the fourth and final year.
  • Entry requirements -GCE/VCE A Levels - 340 points (AAB) from 3 A Levels, or 2 A Levels and 2 AS Levels -BTEC National Diploma - 320 points with Distinction in Further Maths for Technicians -Scottish Highers - 340 points including AH Maths and Physics from 3AH or 2 AH plus 2H -Irish Leaving Cert. - 340 points from 5 Highers including 77 and 64 in Maths and Physics HL -International Baccalaureate - 32 points including 6 HL Maths and Physics -Core Requirements - GCE A Level Maths plus either GCE A Level Physics or VCE A Level Engineering/Science. Students without Maths or Physics can enter our courses after taking the first year of H301 MEng/MechF (Mechanical Engineering with a Foundation Year).
