Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies (with Foundation Year) - BEng (Hons)

University of Lancashire

Combine the practical and theoretical aspects of flying with the underlying principles of aerospace engineering on our Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies Foundation Entry Degree course.

- You’ll undertake ‘Private Pilot License (PPL)’ theoretical studies in your 2nd year. - Fine tune your practical skills using the University’s excellent flight simulators. - You’ll get involved with unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) for civil applications. - During your studies you'll benefit from significant investment in the latest high quality facilities available, including state-of-the-art software tools, flight simulators, subsonic and supersonic wind tunnels and a UAV Lab.

- This course offers an optional 48-week sandwich placement in industry between the second and third years. - You’ll access lectures and masterclasses on topics such as the effective use of computer-aided design software, computational fluid dynamics, and finite element analysis. - Our flight training school partners cover the practical flying components of the PPL (typically 45 hours), for an additional fee.

Aerospace Engineering graduates go on to roles in the aerospace, space, defence, automotive, biotechnology, computing, electronics, energy and manufacturing sectors.
