Aerospace Engineering
At the cutting edge of technology - we are developing the next generation of aerospace engineers
Aerospace Engineering is at the cutting edge of technology, understanding and applying scientific principles to the design, development and service of some of the most technologically advanced engineering products in the world.
With aerospace companies including Spirit and Base on our doorstep, Northern Ireland is a great place to study Aerospace Engineering. Continued growth in air travel coupled with the advent of commercial space travel mean that the Aerospace Engineering industry is booming and our graduates are highly sought-after. As an Aerospace Engineering student at Queen’s, you’ll have frequent opportunities to visit Aerospace companies across Northern Ireland.
Our graduate aerospace engineers have gone on to enjoy success across a diverse range of fields, from commercial aircraft and helicopter development to spacecraft systems and unmanned aerial vehicles; they are leading missions to Mars and the Moon, designing the drones of the future and shaping the future of mobility.
I chose to do Aerospace Engineering as I have always been fascinated by aircraft and loved problem solving. I wanted a job where I didn't have to sit in an office all day! I chose Queen's because it was a Russell group university and the degree was accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society. Anne McIlveen
MEng Aerospace Engineering
-
BEng in Aerospace Engineering
The 3 year (4 with placement) BEng degree provides a solid foundation in all the basic engineering technologies required by an aerospace engineer in the development of next generation aerospace products.
- MEng in Aerospace Engineering
The 4 year (5 with placement) MEng degree extends study to in-depth specialist topics, with the aim of producing future engineering leaders.
Design-Build-Fly
Group Activity Based Learning
Students put into practice their new knowledge and understanding to design, manufacture and fly radio controlled aircraft. The best student made aircraft has the opportunity to participate in the IMechE UAS Challenge.
