This course provides a strategic and practical overview of aerospace engineering and management. Students will apply techniques such as advanced computer-based design, Computational Fluid Dynamics and Finite Elements Analysis. Complementary subjects include advanced CAD/CAM and green engineering and energy efficiency.
This course will also broaden students' understanding of the challenges facing the aerospace engineering industry. To prepare them for their future career, the course covers entrepreneurship, business, finance, research techniques and environmental issues. This course will enhance the career prospects in the aerospace industry and meets the requirements of the Engineering Council for the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).
The University has well-equipped laboratories including two teaching flight simulators, a Learjet business aircraft, large scale low-speed wind tunnels, materials testing, rapid prototyping and high performance computing facilities. There is a strong link between the academic staff research and teaching. Kingston's teaching teams have been actively involved in the research of computational fluid dynamic, aerodynamics and advanced materials.
Kingston University allow students to take the option of a 12-month work placement as part of their course. The responsibility for finding the work placement is with the student; the University cannot guarantee the placement, just the opportunity to undertake it. Students may find securing a professional placement difficult as they are highly competitive and challenging, but they are also incredibly rewarding. It is very important for students to prepare and apply themselves if this is the route they wish to take. Employers look for great written and oral communication skills and an excellent CV/portfolio. As the work placement is an assessed part of the course, it is covered by a student's Student Route visa.
Postgraduates of this course have taken up posts in a variety of employment settings including Rolls-Royce, CAA, Sterling Aerospace, Marshalls Aerospace, Royal Navy, AmSafe Armour, Solion Solar Energy, easyJet, Lufthansa, Flybe, Hawker Hind and Precision Press Parts Corp. Some postgraduates have continued their studies in PhD research projects.
