MEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering With Pilot Studies (Industrial Placement Year)

This course combines the practical and theoretical aspects of flying with the underlying principles of Aerospace Engineering. Read less Benefit from the practical application of what you learn in the classroom in our full motion simulator. This programme is an ideal way to gain the theoretical training required to obtain a pilot’s license while simultaneously gaining an engineering degree. You’ll undertake Private Pilot License (PPL) theoretical studies in Year 2. Successful completion of this is determined by passing the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Private Pilot’s Licence Examinations. CAA examinations are an essential component of a PPL. This degree doesn’t include the practical flying components of the PPL (typically 45 hours) but we partner with a flight training school who will offer those for an additional fee. In Year 4 you’ll be introduced to Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) theoretical studies. These are university examinations designed to prepare you for sitting CAA ATPL examinations after you’ve graduated – ideal if you want to become a commercial pilot in the future.Our sandwich degrees offer the perfect blend of academic study and practical work experience, allowing you to build confidence in the workplace and graduate work-ready from your degree programme.Our previous graduates have found their sandwich year particularly beneficial as it has allowed them to gain practical, hands-on experience within their chosen career and the opportunity to learn directly from professionals based out in industry. It is not uncommon for sandwich year programmes to also open up future work opportunities in similar fields or professions for our graduates.
