Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies MEng (Hons)

**Course Overview**- Are you fascinated by aircraft? This course combines the practical and theoretical aspects of flying with the underlying principles of Aerospace Engineering.- 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.**Why study with us**- Benefit from our new £35m Engineering Innovation Centre, which includes state-of-the-art software tools and flight simulators.- You’ll undertake Private Pilot License (PPL) theoretical studies in Year 2.- There’s an optional 48-week sandwich placement in industry for full-time students between Year 2 and Year 3.**Further Information**- This course has been designed to comply with the educational requirements published by the UK Engineering Council.
