Embark on a transformative journey with the MEng Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies (with Foundation Year) at the University of Central Lancashire. This comprehensive undergraduate degree is meticulously crafted for aspiring engineers and pilots who possess the potential for higher education but may not yet meet the direct entry requirements for an Honours degree. You will explore the intricate principles of aerospace engineering while simultaneously acquiring the theoretical knowledge essential for obtaining a pilot’s license, bridging the gap between the classroom and the cockpit. This integrated approach ensures you develop a unique skill set demanded by the dynamic aviation and aerospace sectors.
This full-time, on-campus program spans five years, beginning with a foundational year designed to build essential study skills and introduce fundamental engineering concepts, including analytical studies and design principles. In subsequent years, you will delve into advanced topics and undertake 'Private Pilot License' (PPL) theoretical studies in your second year and 'Airline Transport Pilot License' (ATPL) theoretical studies in your fourth year. You will benefit from state-of-the-art facilities, including flight simulators and wind tunnels, preparing you for CAA ATPL examinations. Upon graduation, you will be well-positioned for diverse career paths in aviation, aerospace design, and flight operations.
