Bachelor of Engineering Honours

Aeronautical Engineering with Space is a multidisciplinary field focused on the design, development, manufacture, maintenance, and control of vehicles operating both within planetary atmosphere and in outer space. This degree provides a deep understanding of advanced aerospace systems, integrating core principles from aerodynamics, propulsion, materials and structures, and avionics, with space-focused topics such as orbital mechanics, space electronics (spacionics), guidance, navigation and control (GNC), and space system design.

You’ll learn to design and analyse complete aerospace systems - from aircraft to launch vehicles and satellites - while developing skills in structural analysis, system reliability, maintenance strategies, and upgrade/repair methodologies essential for real-world aerospace operations. Emphasis is placed on performance, safety, and mission success in both atmospheric and space environments

The Bachelor of Engineering Honours (Aeronautical Engineering with Space) features hands-on learning through wind tunnel testing, flight simulators, and real aircraft and satellite components, as well as opportunities for practical flight training. In your final year, you may specialise through an honours thesis in areas such as aerospace systems optimisation, satellite GNC, launch and re-entry aerodynamics, or space robotics.

The program includes industry placements and offers international exchange opportunities with leading aerospace universities in the Northern Hemisphere. You may also choose to continue into a graduate program at Sydney, further expanding your capabilities in this fast-evolving and high-impact field.
