Comments about MEng Aerospace Engineering with a Year in North America - At the institution - Sheffield - South Yorkshire
-
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.
