Comments about BEng Aerospace Engineering with a Year in Industry - At the institution - Sheffield - South Yorkshire

  • Objectives
    This course will equip you with a solid understanding of Aerospace Engineering. It is the same as our standard three-year BEng course, with an additional year working in an aerospace engineering company. This industrial experience will put your academic studies into context and improve your skills and employability, preparing you for your career as a graduate engineer. You will take the year in industry after you have completed the third and final year of academic study at Sheffield.
