About this course

Aerospace engineering at Kingston has an
innovative curriculum, excellent links with industry
and cutting-edge facilities. It’s the perfect place to
study aerodynamics, propulsion, structures,
dynamics, and materials and enhance your learning
through project- based activities.

You’ll put theory straight into practice, applying

what you learn to the problems of aerospace design
and taking part in a group design project.

We offer both BEng and MEng degrees. The MEng

has an extra year of study and can provide a faster
route to chartered engineer (CEng) status. Both
degrees have the option of industrial placement.

throughout the whole Kingston experience, Future

T Levels

T Levels are an alternative to A levels,

apprenticeships and other further education
courses. T Level focuses on vocational skills and
can help students into skilled employment, higher
education and/or apprenticeships. Students who
study T Level spend 80% of the course in the
classroom, learning the skills that employers need.
The other 20% is a meaningful industry placement,
where they put these skills into action.

T Levels are the equivalent to three A levels and we

recognise the UCAS tariff points they attract in line
with other qualifications that aid progression to
higher education.
