What you can study

Bristol lies at the heart of aerospace engineering in the country. Our historic association with the aerospace industry puts us in an excellent position to boost your career potential. Proximity to companies such as Airbus, Rolls-Royce, Leonardo Helicopters and BAE Systems benefits our teaching and our research. 

You will find units on:

• aerodynamics
• structures and materials
• dynamics and control
• systems and design

Pre-requisites

At UK universities, students specialise from their first year and rarely take units outside their degree subject. This means that:

• Year 1 units are suitable for all students.
• Year 2 units require some university study in the discipline.
• Year 3 units require a strong background in the discipline.
• Masters-level units require three years of study in the discipline.

Subject pathway students

If you have been nominated to Bristol on the Study Abroad (Aerospace Engineering pathway), you are expected to take the majority of your credits from this guide. The School also permits students to consider units from the Civil Engineering guide.
