Aviation Engineering BEng(Hons) single honours

The course aligns with the current edition of the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC) and to meet the academic requirements for Incorporated Engineering (IEng) Membership of the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAes) by ensuring that the course is accredited by that body.
It equips graduates with the engineering, design, management, business and general skills required to become aviation professionals, as well as enabling them to follow careers within the aviation sector
It prepares graduates with an ability to solve design problems and the technical skills needed to realise these solutions in the fields of aircraft operation and maintenance.
It provides students with the requisite skills and knowledge to progress to higher level study and work towards becoming aviation managers of the future.
Employability is a key element of the programme and hence the emphasis on the development of graduate attributes through the curriculum, industrial visits, placement, co-and extra-curriculum activities.
Guest lectures about careers in aerospace engineering; opportunity to attend careers fair at the Royal Aeronautical Society.
All students are encouraged to make use of the opportunity to enhance their learning and personal development by undertaking an industrial placement after the second year of their programme. All placements are reviewed to ensure that they provide a relevant experience in which students can apply their learning in a practical situation. An industrial placement comprises a period of at least 36 weeks with an approved employer.

The Aviation Engineering BEng(Hons) is designed for undergraduate students who wish to pursue a professional engineering career within the aviation sector and aspire to the professional status of Incorporated Engineer (IEng) with the Royal Aeronautical Society. The programme is intended to equip graduates with the knowledge, the occupational key skills and desired attributes required in the aircraft maintenance, airworthiness, aviation management, logistics, systems integration, design, support and manufacturing. The school has a heritage of providing graduates to the aviation industry in Greater London, in particular around Heathrow and Gatwick.

A Levels: 112 points from three A Levels to include maths and science subject (physics, chemistry, biology). General studies and native language are not included in tariff points.
BTEC National: Extended Diploma in Engineering or related subject (Aerospace/Aeronautical/Electrical/Electronic/Manufacturing and Mechanical Engineering considered) - 128 points (grades DDM).
BTEC National: Extended Diploma in Applied Science considered - 144 points (grades DDD).
Access to HE in a suitable Engineering subject: passed required with all maths and physics modules at Level 3 with distinction grades.

The proposed course can satisfy the requirements of the Royal Aeronautical Society and UK-Spec of the Engineering Council. Incorporated Engineer (IEng) accreditation for the programme will be sought from the Royal Aeronautical Society in the spring of 2019. Students who have enrolled in the course before the accreditation will be fully recognised by the PSRB.
