MEng Aerospace Engineering with Private Pilot Instruction
ObjectivesA special feature of the four-year MEng course is the opportunity to combine core aerospace engineering and management topics with a specialism of your choice to suit your own career path. You will apply your skills in a group industrial design project and final year individual project work.
