Course

Learn the skills to work on every aspect of air vehicles from design, development, manufacture, flight testing and certification, to preserving airworthiness and sustainable aircraft operations, with our top-rated aeronautical engineering course.

The four-year Master of Engineering (MEng) course is the highest award for undergraduate study in engineering. Combining our BEng (Hons) Aeronautical Engineering degree with Masters-level material, it allows you to further distinguish yourself with an advanced set of professional and technical skills.

The MSc Aeronautical Engineering meets the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) status with the Institution of Mechanical Engineering (IMechE) and the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS). Progression to management is key to the careers of postgraduate engineers, so as part of the aeronautical engineering programme you will develop relevant managerial skills, as well as an awareness of the wider issues that affect the aeronautical industry.

Take your first steps to becoming an aeronautical engineer on our Foundation Year which will prepare to study our full degree. Grow your confidence as you learn with the help of our expert staff and using cutting-edge facilities.

Getting to space requires engineers who not only have outstanding technical skills, but the creativity to solve new and complex problems. The skills and hands-on experience you’ll gain in this course prepare you for roles across aerospace, as well as aviation, automotive, manufacturing and more.

This degree aims to provide you with the knowledge and skills required in the Aerospace Industry. The course includes a live flight experience, which is reinforced with SIM work in Flight Simulator. We have strong links with industry, encouraging industrial placements as part of a sandwich-year option.

Our Foundation Year will provide you with the knowledge and skills to progress onto our full Aerospace Engineering degree. Grow your confidence as you learn with the help of our expert staff and using cutting-edge facilities.

Our course focuses on industry-specific knowledge, technical expertise, and professional skills. You’ll be fully equipped as a skilled and responsible professional who is ready for a diverse range of roles throughout the aerospace sector.

Earn your honours degree and EASA Part-66 B1.1 licence. The only UK course double-accredited by the Civil Aviation Authority and European Union Aviation Safety Agency delivered on a single campus.

Our Foundation Year will help you to prepare for degree-level study with confidence as you gain essential practical and theoretical knowledge in preparation to join the UK’s only double-accredited course.

In this course, you'll hone problem-solving skills for the aviation sector, understanding industry challenges through diverse modules. Learn tools and research methods to address real-world aviation issues. With commercial aircraft numbers expected to double in 20 years, our MSc Aviation Engineering and Management equips you for industry success.

Our Civil and Construction Engineering degree will give you vital practical and academic training for a career in civil engineering. Using industry-standard software, you'll learn how to apply theory to engineering problems through design and project work. There are practical field courses in the UK, and you'll have the opportunity to complete a work placement as part of your studies.

We take Civil Engineering seriously. From the earliest civilisations, engineers have designed the built environment and pushed the boundaries of what’s possible. With your degree, you’ll become part of one of the world’s oldest professions and enjoy a career that has a lasting impact on humanity.

If you thought university wasn’t for you but the world of work has made you think again, our HNC in Civil Engineering might be for you. It’s a vocational qualification, equivalent to the first year of a degree and offered part-time while you work.

On this Civil Engineering degree, you’ll study fundamental engineering principles, underpinned by mathematics, health and safety, and sustainability. You’ll learn how to use industry-standard software for the design and construction of civil engineering projects. There are also opportunities for field trips and work placements.

The MSc programme is your opportunity to establish or consolidate your career as a Civil Engineer. Your studies will develop critical and analytical skills, and management expertise needed to manage civil engineering projects and implement sustainable solutions. The course will provide the learning required to progress to Chartered Engineer status.

If you didn’t get the grades you were looking for, USW offers a foundation year in Civil Engineering, paving the way to the BSc (Hons) degree. This comprehensive program equips students with practical skills and academic training for careers in structural design, project management, transport engineering, and sustainable development.

Today’s electrical engineers don’t just need outstanding skills but also creativity and innovation to thrive in a more digitised, intelligent, and connected world. This degree strikes a balance between theory and practice, preparing graduates for leadership roles in industry.

The MEng course in Electrical and Electronic Engineering merges BEng (Hons) material with Masters-level content, offering more advanced students enhanced professional and technical skills. This degree strikes a balance between theory and practice, preparing graduates for leadership roles in industry.

Topping up to a BSc (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering qualification is a great way to increase your specialist knowledge and skills. Taught full-time (direct entry) or part-time for those already in employment, the top-up allows you the option to specialise in either electrical power engineering or electronics engineering.
