The Beng (Hons) Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies (with Foundation Year) at the University of Central Lancashire is designed for aspiring engineers who possess the aptitude for degree-level study but require foundational preparation. This undergraduate course integrates the practicalities of flight with the core principles of aerospace engineering, offering a unique pathway for students aiming for careers in aviation and aeronautical industries. You will explore subjects ranging from fundamental engineering practice and analytical studies to the intricacies of aerospace vehicle systems and pilot operations, preparing you for a dynamic and demanding profession.
This full-time, on-campus degree is studied over four years, providing a comprehensive learning experience that includes a foundation year to build essential skills. Throughout your studies, you will engage with state-of-the-art facilities, including flight simulators and wind tunnels, and undertake theoretical training for your Private Pilot License (PPL) in your second year. You will develop expertise in areas such as aerospace design, aerodynamics, flight dynamics, and propulsion, culminating in a significant engineering project. Graduates will be well-prepared for roles in aerospace engineering, aviation, and potentially as pilots, equipped with both a robust engineering degree and practical flight knowledge.
