A day in the life of a Bristol Aerospace Engineering student

Get an insight into life as an undergraduate Aerospace student, from designing industry-specified aircraft, using the flight simulators to test aerodynamics to simply enjoying Bristol and the fantastic campus facilities.

    BRISTOL UNI IS NAUTICAL MILES AHEAD IF OXBRIDGE IN TERMS OF ENGINEERING

    This has changed remarkably little in 15 years when I took the same course. An STK licence is cool and interesting to see more space stuff being built into the standard course. If any in comments is thinking of applying here - do go for it, but biggest bit of advice i'd offer is make sure your mechanics and calculus elements of your maths are strong, or you will be playing catch-up forever. I wasn't offered a mechanics module at A-Level maths and struggled immediately with some of that nomenclature used across engineering maths and flight dynamics. The calculus is applied through structures, aerodynamics, thermodynamics and mechanics and again I'd make sure you're very comfortable with this aspect of maths. They did make effort to give students a strong maths baseline with engineering maths and generally the first two years of this degree have approximately a third of undergraduate applied maths syllibus built in, but at least when I did the course this was covered alongside aero / structures / thermodynamics and proved extremely tough to keep up. Contact hours in first year exceeded 35 for much of term time - at one stage we were 'advised' to spend 2hrs revising and recapitulating for each hour of lecture or lab time...which would have exceeded the available hours in the day! So yes, time management very important. I can only imagine how much easier some of this would be with a wide variety of online tutorials and course material you could use in addition to lecture time if, like me, you find lectures near impossible to learn from. Final thought is that unless you want to continue into research roles, the systems engineering and software aspects are argueably the most important to master in modern aerospace.

    Hi, I'm thinking of applying here for master's degree in aerospace engineering. But wasn't sure if good companies like Rolls Royce, Boeing and Airbus hire Bristol graduates?

    @@manish313 are you kidding? Of course they do, on a targeted basis even - the university has strong ties with those companies and many others in the region. However if your Bachelors degree (assuming you have one and you are not referring to the whole 4 year course) is relevant I’d consider applying direct into industry graduate schemes unless there is specifically a masters requirement - you will learn and develop much more in a year of the workplace than a further year in academia, in my opinion.
