Aerospace Engineering

How do you ensure that a satellite is launched into the right orbit around the Earth or how do you design a micro-aircraft that can save people’s lives? In Aerospace Engineering you will learn all of this and much more. In order to design, build and operate aircraft or satellites, you need to have knowledge of a range of different disciplines and know how to combine them.You come into contact with technologies and materials from the aerospace industry every day. GPS tracking and weather forecasting are both made possible by the presence of satellites in space. The mirrors on a lorry or car have been designed in such a way as to generate as little resistance as possible. And just try to imagine how much food is transported by air every single day.The field of study is extremely broad and exciting. It is not confined just to the aerospace industry. Besides acquiring the specialist know-how you will also learn to work in teams, to make compromises, to search for solutions to complex problems and to communicate effectively.
