This course enables you to study at one of our partner institutions in Europe or North America for one semester in Year 3. As in the BEng, you will gain a solid foundation in aerospace engineering such as aerodynamics, astronautics and propulsion along with a wider appreciation of the economic, legal and environmental issues associated with aircraft operations and aircraft performance. Studying abroad can greatly enhance your personal development and marketable skills. It gives you the opportunity to study abroad. Students can also take the Industrial Placement Year, providing the opportunity for a year-long placement with an engineering-based organisation. This course is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) and the Institute of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. At Southampton, our students form knowledge and understanding through a combination of lectures, tutorials, classes, laboratory experiments, coursework and individual and group projects. You will broaden your formal learning by becoming an active student member of a professional institution and our student Engineering Society, SUES. We will also teach you the transferable skills to present written and oral presentations. After the completion of the course, 98% of students entered graduate-level jobs or further study within six months of graduation (Guardian University Guide, 2016). Our graduates are placed in a variety of positions, from test engineer to Royal Navy Officer. Some of the companies they work for include Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company Limited and HiTEA Technologies Ltd. We provide you with a dedicated Employment Officer who will help build your skills profile and point you in the right direction. We also have connections with local, national and international employers as well as the University Careers and Employability Service.
