Kingston University London

Aerospace and Aircraft Engineering

The School of Aerospace and Aircraft Engineering delivers a portfolio of courses to over 1000 students, from foundation year to doctoral programmes.  With a range of courses and entry routes, the school attracts students from different backgrounds and abilities other than the usual progression route after studying A-Levels.  We have welcomed students who have entered through the Access route as well as students who have left the Forces requiring an academic qualification in support of their technical experience. 

The University has a long historical association with training aerospace engineers, dating back to the Sopwith Aviation company in 1912.  At the Roehampton Vale campus, we have specialist facilities; from a Boeing 737 fuselage to large scale wind tunnels, all with programmes supported with the latest software technology. 

Dr Peter Barrington is the head of the school and is supported by an academic team of industry knowledge based staff within the fields of aircraft engineering, aerospace and astronautics.  You can find out more about our staff on the People pages.
