Year One students study core engineering topics such as Structures; Fluid Mechanics; Thermodynamics; Materials; Maths; Electronics and Management. The Year 1 Pilot Studies modules provides a first insight into this exciting career This, alongside general engineering skills such as technical drawing and communication is reinforced throughout the year via a design-build-test project where students are required to demonstrate their learning by creating an unmanned glider aircraft for use in a humanitarian mission.

In Year Two, you will take modules in Aeroengines; Avionics; Computer Programming; Maths; Dynamics; Structures; Design; Aircraft Performance and Project Management. The pilot studies modules are based on the material required in the Air Transport Pilot’s Licence (ATPL) ground school syllabus.

In Year Three you will undertake an individual project providing the opportunity to conduct research and develop innovative concepts in your preferred technical area of interest.

You will also take modules in Aerodynamics; Flight Dynamics and Control; Aerostructures; Aeroengines; Avionics; Aircraft Design and Management. You can take optional modules in topics such as Spaceflight and Rotorcraft Flight.
