BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering

You'll build strong aerospace engineering foundations alongside industry-relevant technical skills. The program develops core capabilities in engineering mathematics, mechanics and materials, applied thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and introduction to aircraft — building CAD fluency, aerodynamics awareness, and structured problem-solving using tools including MATLAB and SolidWorks — preparing you for modern, technology-driven aerospace engineering environments.

Progress into advanced, aerospace-specific study. The programme deepens technical expertise in principles of aerodynamics, flight mechanics, systems engineering, dynamics, aerospace materials, and design for manufacture — applying engineering principles to complex aerospace problems and building the critical evaluation, decision-making, and design skills needed to transfer to RMIT Melbourne for Year 3, where wind tunnels, aerospace labs, and industrial application take centre stage.

You transfer to RMIT Melbourne together as a cohort, ensuring a supported transition with familiar peers and consistent academic progression. Year 3 shifts your learning from theory to application at RMIT's Bundoora campus — with access to industrial wind tunnels, flight simulation systems, composites manufacturing, propulsion labs, and aerospace structures testing — deepening expertise through minor studies in Aircraft or Spacecraft Technologies at the stage when hands-on exposure matters most.

In your final year at RMIT Melbourne, you undertake a major two-part capstone project — analytical, experimental, or design-led — applying aerospace engineering principles to real-world challenges in aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, and spacecraft systems. Using ANSYS, MATLAB, and SolidWorks Simulation, you build the expertise expected of graduate aerospace engineers entering global industry.

Upon graduation, students receive a full international degree and are eligible for an 18–24 month post-study work visa, allowing them to stay and seek employment. This visa permits full-time work and does not require employer sponsorship.
