About this course

BEng Aerospace Engineering in Blackpool. Classes run at Bispham Campus, full-time over three years.

The course covers aerodynamics, avionics, materials and structures, propulsion, and flight systems. You'll build specialist knowledge that aerospace employers look for in graduate recruits. The course runs during the day and takes three years to complete.

You'll need at least 48 UCAS points to apply, including maths and a science, technology, or engineering subject. You'll graduate with a BEng in Aerospace Engineering.

Who this course is for

Aerospace engineering is an exciting, cutting-edge field that opens up a range of fantastic career opportunities with the possibility of working internationally. On this programme, which will equip you with all the highly sought after skills employers are looking for in their graduate recruits, you will learn about aircraft, flying and flight systems and, by the time you graduate, will have gained specialist knowledge in aerodynamics, avionics, materials and structures, propulsion and systems integration. You will also have the opportunity to follow an aerospace pathway of your choice, having had the opportunity to sample core engineering subjects. The programme starts at Level 4 and takes three years to complete. However, suitably qualified candidates with a relevant Level 4 qualification can enter the programme at Level 5/Year 2 and complete the programme in just two years. At Level 4, you will gain a foundational understanding of all the core engineering principles together with the necessary mathematics and computer-aided design (CAD) skills which will further enhance your career prospects. At Levels 5 and 6, you will gain more insight into subject specialisms, including sustainability which has become an increasing focus of the aerospace industry and is reflected in the increasing number of roles which address its environmental impact. From here, you will be able to develop your own interests and work on self-directed projects which will help you prepare for the range of responsibilities you will encounter in your future career. There will also be the opportunity to explore practical subject areas and to engage in hands-on learning in the state of the art facilities available in our Advanced Technology Centre where we endeavour to invest in technologies and equipment which replicates those commonly used in industry. This is intended to get you workplace ready so that your transition from the world of education to employment is as smooth as possible.

Entry requirements

A minimum of 48 UCAS points (excluding Functional Skills) in an appropriate discipline: DD from A levels to include mathematics and a technology, engineering or science-based subject; PPP from Extended Diploma, MP from Diploma, MM from 90 Credit Diploma in a science or technology-based subject, including passes in mathematics.

What you will learn

  • You'll study aerodynamics and how aircraft generate lift and control.
  • You'll learn about avionics and the electronic systems used in aircraft.
  • You'll explore materials and structures used in aerospace design.
  • You'll understand propulsion systems and how aircraft engines work.
  • You'll study flight systems and how they are managed and controlled.
  • You'll develop skills that employers look for in engineering graduates.

How you will learn

You'll study in the classroom at Bispham Campus. Learning is full-time and takes place during the day. Assessment methods will be confirmed by the centre and may include coursework, projects, and exams across the three years of study.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Bispham Campus will confirm anything else you need before you start.
