Aerospace Engineering (Space Technology) MEng (Hons)

The Aerospace Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons) degree and Aerospace Engineering MEng/BEng (Hons) degree with Space Technology pathway from Kingston University are accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS), leading to chartered engineer (CEng) status.

At our Roehampton Vale campus, you will have access to a modern environment with the latest technology, including: 

  • a fully equipped rocket propulsion test lab for testing and firing of live rockets for data acquisition. Here, you can fire rocket engines you have designed and constructed
  • a fully-equipped manufacturing workshop where you can manufacture your rocket engine designs using the extensive range of equipment – including CNC machines
  • 3D rapid prototype printer which allows you to print off your computer designed models for testing and evaluation
  • industry-standard test and experimental equipment for metrology, robotics, fatigue and quality control
  • state-of-the-art computing facilities for computer aided design (CAD) and other specialist software
  • a mission control room equipped with high-performance PCs with tri-screen setup, for planning and operating space missions
  • a flight simulator, where you can programme a mathematical model of your design into the simulator and then monitor the results
  • large-scale wind tunnels that enable testing in winds of up to 90 miles per hour
  • laser doppler anemometry system, which allows us to make very accurate velocity measurements in the wind tunnel

You’ll learn both the theory and practical skills you need to succeed in your future career and put your knowledge to the test in a flight test course, onboard a flying laboratory aircraft. You’ll be employment ready at graduation.
