Before proceeding to Level 3, a student must pass AER120 Introduction to Aerospace Design, including attaining a satisfactory standard in (a) Engineering Applications, and (b) Engineering Drawing and Computer-aided Design,  the arrangements being subject to the approval of the Aerospace Engineering Board of Studies.

6

During Level 3, a student must attain a satisfactory standard in a Flight Laboratory Course, the arrangements being subject to the approval of the Aerospace Engineering Board of Studies.

7

A student must satisfy the requirements of the General Regulations for First Degrees as to progression in order to continue as a student for the Degree of MEng Aerospace Engineering (AERU10). A student who fails to satisfy these requirements may be permitted by the Faculty to (a) at the end of level 2 become a candidate for the Degree of BEng Aerospace Engineering (AERU11), or (b) at the end of level 3 become a candidate for the Degree of BEng Aerospace Technology (AERU17).

8

A student must pass the Aerospace Individual Investigative Project (ACS488 / AER488 / COM488 / EEE488 / MAT488 / MEC488) at the first attempt in order to be eligible for the award of the Degree of MEng Aerospace Engineering. A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be  permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng Aerospace Engineering (AERU11).
