Aeronautical Engineering
Bachelor's (3 years) at Loughborough University
In our Aeronautical Engineering course, you will be able to specialise in subjects that will be vital to the future of aviation, which go far beyond traditional passenger transport aircraft. There are many exciting challenges facing the sector, from finding environmentally sustainable methods of propulsion to increasing automation that allows unmanned aircraft to complete an ever-increasing range of tasks. This course will prepare you for a career tackling the challenges facing aviation today, and well into the future. In this course, you can study topics such as Autonomous Vehicles, Sensor Fusion, Machine Learning, Noise Control, and Experimental and Computational Fluid Dynamics, among many others. These are underpinned by learning the fundamentals of engineering and analysis techniques, equipping you for a career not only in the aeronautical and automotive sectors but many others too. As part of the course, you will gain experience in testing and flight procedures by undertaking a flight test course. This includes up to four flights in an aircraft equipped with a flying laboratory. Our course contains modules on Aircraft and Gas Turbine Design too. These allow you to put the theory you have learned into practice as you learn how to produce detailed engineering designs to fulfil specific design briefs. In your final year, you will work as part of a team to design an aircraft of the future and work on your own original research project, working to solve a real-world engineering challenge. Our courses are taught within the Department of Aeronautical and Automotive Engineering. Our teaching staff are engaged in pioneering research into air and ground transport, which helps keep our course up to date. We bring together outstanding facilities, superb teaching, and strong links with industry to make sure you are completely ready for your future career. **What's the difference between MEng and BEng?** The first two years of the BEng and MEng courses share the same format and structure, with a high level of aeronautical-specific content from day one, underpinned with fundamental engineering topics. The MEng courses differ from the BEng by offering the opportunity to study technical and management topics at a more advanced level, plus the option of studying a modern language. The individual project in the final year of the MEng is a more significant piece of work than for the BEng and may be carried out at an overseas university or in conjunction with an industrial sponsor. All our courses can be studied with or without the industrial placement year. Courses which lead to MEng take four or five years (depending if an industrial placement year is included) whilst the BEng courses take three or four years. The placement is normally taken after the second year, but MEng students can opt to take it after the third year instead. It is possible to transfer from a BEng to an MEng from the commencement of the course up to the end of the second year, providing that the transfer progression criteria have been met...

Aeronautical Engineering with a Foundation Year
Bachelor's (4 years) at Loughborough University
This course is primarily for candidates who have not studied the prerequisite subjects needed for first year entry, or have not met their expected entrance requirements due to adverse situations, or because of their previous sport performance commitments, as well as mature students returning to education or care leavers. Our Foundation Studies programme at Loughborough is designed to help a range of students realise their university ambitions. Our streamed approach enables you to progress on to one of multiple courses within your chosen stream – giving you further time to decide which course is right for you. The foundation programme would suit: - Students who have not studied the prerequisite subjects needed for first year entry on a preferred course; - Students who did not meet the expected entrance requirements due to adverse situations (including illness or caring responsibilities); - Mature students or care leavers; - Students performing at elite athlete level who have the added challenge of combining study with high-level sporting competition. As a student on the course, you will be a full member of the University, enjoying access to the Students’ Union, clubs, societies, sports facilities and support departments, and the outstanding student experience Loughborough University offers. This course is placed within the Engineering, Maths and Physical Sciences stream which is one of our four Foundation streams. Foundation courses in this stream include: - Aeronautical Engineering with a Foundation Year - Automotive Engineering with a Foundation Year - Bioengineering with a Foundation Year - Chemical Engineering with a Foundation Year - Civil and Architectural Engineering with a Foundation Year - Computer Science with a Foundation Year - Electronic and Electrical Engineering with a Foundation Year - Materials with a Foundation Year - Mathematics with a Foundation Year - Mechanical Engineering with a Foundation Year - Natural Science with a Foundation Year (maths or physics major) - Physics with a Foundation Year - Product Design and Technology with a Foundation Year - Sport Technology with a Foundation Year Why complete a foundation year? - Completing a foundation year within the Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences Stream will enable you to progress onto the first year of our - Aeronautical Engineering or any course, provided the relevant progression criteria are met. - Completing a foundation year can be a real attribute to your overall degree success. It not only opens doors to courses that may have previously looked closed, but also provides a sound base on which to establish a successful academic career. Many who have completed the foundation pathway have also said how beneficial it was to them in supporting their transition into university life. - Our foundation course is taught in-house by university staff. The Foundation Studies course also offers the opportunity for students performing at a very high standard in their chosen sport, looking to join one of our sporting performance programmes, who wish to study at Loughborough, but do not have the required qualifications. It is ideal for students who wish to combine their performance sports training with academic study. If you think your sport profile qualifies you to be considered for the elite athletes programme, please contact performancesport@lboro.ac.uk before applying. ..
