University of Liverpool Aerospace Engineering Insight Course

This Insight into University course at the University of Liverpool is built around the multi-disciplinary theme of aerospace engineering and is led by the Flight Science Group. Students explore how aerospace research connects with real-world industry projects, including work on aircraft design, aerodynamics and flight systems.

Participants can expect practical, hands-on activities such as team problem-solving around aerospace challenges, using CAD and other computing facilities, and flying the Bibby Flight Simulator around a helicopter test course. The course also includes opportunities to meet current undergraduates, engineers, test pilots and researchers, alongside time to explore Liverpool’s student facilities.

It is designed for students with a strong maths background and an interest in topics such as airframe structures, avionics, flight technologies, aerodynamics, and aerospace and aeronautical engineering. The course is a mixed residential programme for 40 students and offers a focused introduction to the technical side of flight and the collaboration between pilots and engineers.
