Grouped here when the official title names aerospace, aeronautical, aircraft or space engineering.
Aerospace engineering covers aerodynamics, propulsion, flight mechanics, aerospace structures and space systems. Programmes are usually built on a mechanical engineering core and then specialise, and a number of them sit at institutions with their own wind tunnel or test facilities.
The programmes below were read from institutions’ own catalogues and grouped here by U4S. That grouping is an editorial judgement about the published title, not a statement from any institution, and two programmes sitting on this page are not thereby equivalent — content, entry requirements and the qualification awarded can differ substantially between them and between countries.
