Take your engineering passions to the skies as you learn to design the aircraft and spacecraft of the future. You’ll explore vital areas of electronics and take up the challenge of developing greener air travel. You'll also gain specialist knowledge of avionics, practical computing and programming. This course will prepare you for a career in the aerospace industry.

BEng Aerospace Electronic Engineering gives you a broad knowledge of electronics. You can then focus on new and future aerospace technologies, including:

• autonomous, unmanned flying vehicles
• GPS to improve flight safety and efficiency

Our expert academics bring industry experience to the classroom. They have worked on projects with NASA and the European Space Agency.

As part of this course you can:

• design and build your own electronic circuits, systems and computer software
• use our research facilities, including a computer labs, high-voltage laboratory and £110m clean room
• develop your enterprise skills with help from our startup supporter, Future Worlds
• study engineering management and law to develop your career skills

Your specialist skills as an aerospace electronics engineer will be in great demand after you graduate. Most of our graduates go straight into aerospace electronics jobs and electronic engineering careers in high-tech companies.

You could work for a small or large aerospace company, join a high-tech start-up, or go into an aerospace engineering consultancy.

This degree is also a great foundation for further study at Masters or PhD level.
