About Meng Aeronautics With Spacecraft Engineering in Imperial College London

This professionally accredited course aims to provide you with a broad base of engineering, computational and analytical skills, alongside the specific knowledge required for careers in the aeronautical industry.

By joining this specialist spacecraft stream you'll be equipped with an analytical skillset appropriate to the design of spacecraft technologies and an understanding of the unique challenges when designing space systems for launch and operation.

Study programme

The first two years are the same across all of our Aeronautical Engineering courses. You will develop a strong grounding in the three disciplinary pillars of aerospace engineering; aerodynamics, lightweight structures and structural mechanics, and flight mechanics and control.

Year two includes further specialised aeronautical material such as mechatronics, flight mechanics, propulsion and turbomachinery, plus the chance to attend a flight testing course at the National Flying Laboratory Centre at Cranfield University.

Both years include laboratory-based coursework plus design, make and test exercises to develop your design and analysis skills.
