Bachelor of Science in Applied Social Science

This innovative degree has been designed to break through the traditional social science boundaries. In the first year students will study two or three subjects, examining social issues from various points of view. In the second year they will choose a major and a minor subject, which they will study for the rest of the course. The available courses include Criminology, Education, Culture and Childhood, Human Geography, Journalism, Physical Geography, Politics, Sociology, Social policy, Urban Studies. Throughout the course, students will get training in the quantitative and qualitative methods of social science research. They will learn how to present research findings and data in a variety of formats.

Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace Engineering

This is a dual honours course, which means students will spend roughly half their time in the partner department, Economics. They will get a good grounding in both subjects, plus the chance to study specific areas in more detail. The subjects are given equal weighting. The way the accounting and financial management side is taught is the same, in principle, as the single honours course (Accounting and Financial Management). Students take a lot of the same modules as a single honours student. Because they are studying two subjects, they don't get to look at accounting, financial management or economics in as much detail as one would on the single honours degrees, but the quality of their education is the same.

Bachelor of Arts in Accounting and Financial Management and Economics

This course gives students a solid grounding in aerospace engineering. They will learn how to communicate effectively with people from a wide range of engineering disciplines. After a year of core study, students will choose either the avionic systems or aeromechanics stream. In their final year, they will work on a research project led by one of the world leading academics at the university. The modules cover aero propulsion, aerodynamic design, aircraft dynamics and control, computational aerodynamics and project management. The study includes some experience of flight instrumentation and an individual investigative project of students’ choice. All students also take the Global Engineering Challenge, where teams of students work to solve engineering problems in developing countries. This is designed to develop them as a professional engineer and enhance their career prospects.
