The BEng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies at the University of Central Lancashire is designed for aspiring engineers with a passion for flight, offering a unique blend of rigorous engineering principles and the foundational knowledge for pilot training. You will explore critical areas such as aerospace design, aerodynamics, propulsion, and materials science, preparing you to tackle complex challenges in the aviation and space industries. This undergraduate degree provides a comprehensive understanding of aerospace vehicle systems and the engineering analysis required to innovate within this dynamic field.
You will study this programme full-time on campus over three years, engaging with theoretical studies and practical applications. In your second year, you will undertake Private Pilot Licence (PPL) theoretical studies, with successful completion determined by passing Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) examinations. The course features opportunities for advanced material and structural analysis, flight dynamics, and a significant engineering project with a focus on sustainability. You will graduate with a strong foundation in aerospace engineering, ready for careers in aircraft design, manufacturing, or further pilot training pathways.
