Program Overview
This program provides a comprehensive education in vehicle aerodynamics, preparing students for careers in aerospace engineering, engineering, and beyond. Graduates have pursued roles at leading organizations such as Airbus, Boeing, and Rolls-Royce.
Program Outline
Careers:
This degree will open the door to many vehicle aerodynamics jobs and career opportunities in the aerospace industry, engineering and beyond, including: Aerospace engineer Aerodynamics engineer Engineering consultant Performance and simulation engineer Propellor design engineer UAV designer Pilot Software and systems engineer IT consultant It also provides a great launch pad for further studies at PhD level. Recent graduates have gone on to work at organisations like: Airbus Defence and Space Dstl BAE Systems Boeing Dyson European Space Agency Formula 1 teams Jaguar Land Rover Rolls-Royce Surrey Satellite Technology Limited We are a designated university for the Defence Technical Undergraduate Scheme. This means you could receive military sponsorship. This is also a BAE Systems preferred course. Your degree will be aligned to the UK Space Agency Civil Space Strategy. Our graduates also often continue their studies to PhD level. Your personal academic tutor and employability coordinator can advise you on your career paths. You can also join the Southampton University Air Squadron for possible flying opportunities.
UK students pay £9,250. EU and international students pay £27,400. Your fees will remain the same each year from when you start studying this course. This includes if you suspend and return.

International Baccalaureate Career Programme (IBCP) statement
Offers will be made on the individual Diploma Course subject(s) and the career-related study qualification. The CP core will not form part of the offer. Where there is a subject pre-requisite(s), applicants will be required to study the subject(s) at Higher Level in the Diploma course subject and/or take a specified unit in the career-related study qualification. Applicants may also be asked to achieve a specific grade in those elements.
or
BTEC
D in the BTEC National Extended Certificate plus grades A A in A-level mathematics and physics (the A can be in either subject), with a pass in the physics Practical (where it is separately endorsed). or D in the BTEC National Extended Certificate plus grades AA in A-level mathematics and physics, with a pass in the physics Practical (where it is separately endorsed). We will consider the BTEC National Diploma if studied alongside A-levels in mathematics and physics.
