    University of Bristol

    The University of Bristol was founded as University College, Bristol in 1876. Ever since that time, it has been a hub of innovation and research. The University of Bristol excels in information security, climate science, human rights thinking and the science of infection and immunity to this day. The name was changed to the University […]

    Course Summary

    Bristol lies at the heart of England’s Southwest, a hub of aircraft production and aerospace technology generally, and one of the most important centres for the Aerospace industry throughout Europe.

    As you would expect form an institution that saw the birth of powered flight, U Bristol maintains close links with major industry players such as Airbus, Leonardo and Rolls-Royce. The research done at the University of Bristol leads the world, and is heavily featured in class work, especially that touching on aerodynamics, composite materials, vibration control and systems design.

    Typically, this BEng program is completed over the course of 3 years.

    If you are changing direction after starting in another career area, you will possess valuable work experience and professional awareness. Many employers actively seek candidates with these benefits. Our network of contacts, a dedicated employability service and a reputation in the legal profession mean we also have an outstanding track-record of finding students legal employment.Many employers favour GDL students in an increasingly competitive legal job market. Through studying another degree subject, you will have gained many transferable skills. By taking the conversion route into law, you are showing motivation and determination by choosing law at a later stage than some others. This looks good to employers.

    Course Outline

    Years 1 and 2:

    From the very beginning, students should have an eye on specialising in either Aerodynamics, structure and materials, or dynamic systems and controls. However, the first 2 years of the program focus on core concepts delivered via lecture, lab experience and coursework. You will take modules touching on systems engineering, design and computation, as well as a strong grounding in relevant maths.

    Year 3:

    At this point you have the option of selecting many more optional modules based on your own interests and career goals. These might include advanced subjects such as computational aerodynamics, composite material analysis, optimisation or aeroplasticity studies. This is your opportunity to complete your desired specialisation, and to really stand out as a graduate hire.

    Learning & Teaching

    The bulk of the modules in the University of Bristol’s Aerospace Engineering BEng course are lecture-based. However, they will be supported by extensive laboratory experience as well. You will also be expected to conduct a great deal of independent study.

    The first 2 years are assessed 75% on your examination scores, and the remainder on your coursework. In your third year, there will be a much greater focus on coursework, especially group and individual projects.

    Career Possiblities

    The University of Bristol is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society. In addition, because it maintains such close links with the local and International Aerospace industry, the university can offer a very high placement rate to their graduates.

    The university maintains an Industrial Liaison Office, which ensures that each student has access to commercial and industrial engagement from the very beginning of their studies. This includes not just the aerospace industry itself, but also the racing, sustainable power generation and defence industries.

    Many Aerospace Engineering graduates also go into roles which do not specifically require engineering certification, as the discipline has many transferrable skills that are attractive to companies in the business, financial services, law, and even advertising and journalism spaces.

    Entry Credit

    Entry Requirements for UK and EU-nationals

    The University of Bristol’s Aerospace Engineering program requires at least 3 A Levels of A*AA or better. These A Levels must include Mathematics and Physics, one of which must be rated at A*.

    Entry Requirements for overseas (non-EU) students

    International students must be fluent in written and Spoken English, and have achieved an equivalent qualification to that listed above. The details on what qualifications are considered equivalent can be found here.
