Based on successfully satisfying stage (a), the candidates are encouraged to apply for a University place to study the Aerosystems course.

Stage B

  • A UK first or second-class honors degree in a relevant subject area, or

  • An equivalent international qualification (find out whether your qualification meets our requirements by visiting our International Student page), or

  • Relevant work experience in combination with a degree below second-class honors

If you do not meet our formal entry requirements but still feel you can demonstrate the ability to complete the course successfully, you may still be accepted onto a course. Each application will be considered on its merits, and the Course Director will make a case.

All students accepted onto the course must complete the pre-sessional 10-day Shrivenham course in August (8th-19th) before attending the award studies in September. The pre-sessional studies comprise refresher studies in maths and technical topics that enable leveling the background knowledge that lecturers in the award course can assume.
