As long-haul travel becomes increasingly accessible and affordable, air transport is in high demand. Join this fast-moving industry, and gain the skills to design and manage next generation aircrafts, with an Aircraft Engineering with Pilot Studies degree.

The BEng pathway is designed to build technical knowledge and skills. By focusing on the underlying principles of aircraft engineering, you can develop the skills to recognise and alleviate risk, create a safe and efficient operating environment, and assess vital information. You will explore how to enhance flight performance, as you develop flight assimilation and air navigation skills. 

With a focus on your future, you will also build transferable skills and learn about the decision-making methods used by industry. There is also the option to include an industry placement year, where you can gain additional workplace skills and boost your employability once you graduate.

The course is designed to meet the requirements of the Engineering Councils Accreditation of Higher Education Programmes (AHEP).

An Aircraft Engineering with Pilot Studies degree can lead to a fascinating and rewarding career. On successful course completion, you’ll be closer to working in the aerospace and aviation industry, one the the world's largest employment fields. 

With high-demand for air travel, career opportunities are expected to increase. Course graduates secure roles that range from supporting air traffic control to aircraft maintenance and engineering. The course also provides a route into aviation business management.

Today, you will find Salford’s aircraft engineering alumni working throughout the world at leading companies and aviation-specific organisations, including the National Air Traffic Services (NATS), CTC Aviation and Goodrich.
