Aerospace Engineering (joint degree with Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT))

Aerospace Engineering is an advanced engineering discipline concerned with the theory, design, manufacture and testing of flight vehicles. In addition to traditional fixed-wing and rotary wing aircraft, the degree programme approaches the discipline from a modern perspective with a focus on micro air vehicles and unmanned aerial systems. While mathematics and physical laws govern the design of flight vehicles and advance the theory of flight vehicles, a diverse range of subjects is studied, including Aircraft Performance, Flight Mechanics, Aircraft Propulsion, Flight Dynamics, Computational Aerodynamics and Flight, Guidance and Navigational Control Systems. Although Aerospace Engineering is a highly advanced and specialised engineering discipline, the degree programme is highly multi-disciplinary due the nature of aircraft, and therefore provide a wide range of employment opportunities. The analytical and problem-solving skills of the Aerospace Engineering graduate are well regarded by employers and researchers.

Introducing the School of Engineering

• The University established a Regius Chair of Civil Engineering and Mechanics in 1840, making Glasgow the oldest university school of engineering in the UK. We have been delivering a world-class engineering education for more than 160 years, building and sustaining an excellent international reputation.
• Each year our 2,500 undergraduate and postgraduate students are taught by staff renowned for their leading-edge research.
• In the UK’s 2014 independent research exercise (REF), we were placed within the top 5 in the UK for our “internationally excellent” and “world-leading” research.
• We have access to excellent facilities and collaborate with other leading universities and research institutes worldwide on a range of projects that address the technological needs of society.
• The education we provide is informed and supported by our links with industry and industrially relevant research. In Singapore, the UofG-SIT programmes seek to provide students with various dimensions of exposure to local industry in order to enhance their employability upon graduation.
