Course Summary

**Reasons to choose Kingston** – Both the MEng and BEng degrees are accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society as leading to chartered engineer (CEng) status. – You’ll have access to cutting-edge equipment,such as a rocket lab and a satellite ground station. – Kingston University is the only UK affiliate campus of the International Space University. **About this course** These courses are ideal if you’re interested in the design, construction and operation of aircraft and would like to extend your studies into space. You’ll examine the challenges of space flight and the benefits of using the space environment. You’ll study aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, dynamics and materials, the design of spacecraft, payloads and space dynamics, and will carry out a practical rocket design exercise. If you choose the MEng degree, you’ll continue to deepen and broaden your expertise in Year 4, with studies that include the design, cost, logistical and operational implications of space missions.

To include Maths and Science subjects (Physics, Chemistry and Biology)

From a minimum of three A Levels. General Studies not accepted.

Equivalent of 112 UCAS points. Must include Maths & Science in Advanced Highers

Equivalent of 112 UCAS points from an Engineering subject. All Maths and Physics units must be level 3 and Distinctions

Must include Grade 5 in Maths & Physics subject at Higher Level and English Language at Standard Level grade 5 or Higher Level grade 4

All BTECs must include Distinction in Further Maths for Technicians & Further Mechanical Principles or equivalent

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.
