Imperial’s Department of Aeronautics is at the cutting edge of aerospace teaching and research. All of our teaching programmes, including at undergraduate level, lead to postgraduate-level qualifications, making our graduates highly sought after for a range of careers in the aerospace industry, manufacturing, consultancy, and research and development.
Our research and teaching facilities are first class – some are unique to the UK and many are also used by commercial companies. These include, for example, Mach 9 hypersonic and Mach 2.2 supersonic wind tunnels, a major water flume facility for experiments on current and wave action, and a MOTUS flight simulator (the only one of its kind in the UK) which enables students to test-fly their own designs.
We have extensive links with the aerospace industry and with other world-class universities. This provides unique opportunities for our students to study abroad or undertake relevant work placements. Coupled with our excellent reputation for teaching and research, and a growing body of academic staff, it makes the Department of Aeronautics an exciting and vibrant place to study.
