Undergraduate Degree Courses


Three-year BEng and four-year MEng courses are available in Aerospace Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering with Private Pilot Instruction. Students registered for the PPI courses can, if they wish, extend the flying experience to gain a Private Pilot Licence.

We also offer a four-year BEng and five-year MEng with a Year in Industry as well as a four-year MEng with a Year in North America.

The first two years of all our courses are common which means that you can defer making a choice about which qualification to study for until the end of your second year. If you initially register for the BEng, and do well in years 1 and 2, you can then transfer to the MEng course. Conversely, MEng students may transfer to a three-year BEng programme.

Whichever course you select, after year 1 you will have the opportunity to follow a specialism of your choice. Our MEng course extends the range of options in the final two years by offering more specific paths that may be tailored to careers or interests in particular areas. The choice is yours.

Our courses produce multi-skilled graduates with technical command and management potential, essential for today’s engineer and tomorrow’s business leader.
The multidisciplinary approach we take, and the flexibility we offer, makes Aerospace Engineering at Sheffield unique amongst courses offered in the UK.
