BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering
Student, Godly Shagee talks about his experience of studying aerospace engineering at Teesside University
You develop your knowledge and understanding of aerospace engineering subjects, including design, fluids, mechanics, flight control systems, structures, materials, propulsion, flight dynamics and aircraft performance.
This course includes a foundation year - ideal if you need additional preparation or if you don't have sufficient grades to join Year 1 of a degree.
Top reasons to study aerospace engineering at Teesside:
You are taught mainly at the University’s campus in Middlesbrough, but you have access to the extensive aerospace engineering workshops at Hartlepool College of Further Education. These include a hanger with fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft, engines, and a wind tunnel. Free transport is provided between the University and the college should you need it.
