About this course

The course will equip you with the necessary skills required for a career in management and operations in the aviation industries. If you already hold the PPL, it will help to enhance your employability and credentials.
Graduates have gone on to work as flight planners, air traffic controllers, flight data analysts and aircraft brokers among many other roles. They’ve secured employment at organisations such as Teeside Airport, Air Canada, NATS, Marshalls, Air Tanker, Eastern Airways, Eurocontrol, Rolls-Royce North America, Virgin Atlantic Airways, Philipp Aviation Consulting and the armed forces.

A-level: AAA including Mathematics or Physics.
Where an A-Level Science subject is taken, we require a pass in the practical science element, alongside the achievement of the A-Level at the stated grade.
Excludes A-Level General Studies or Critical Thinking.

Course programme

You’ll be introduced to the key science and engineering principles that underlie aviation studies in Year 1, when you’ll also develop the theoretical knowledge you need for the private pilot’s licence (PPL) – you can meet the CAA’s ground exam requirements as part of your studies. During this year and the following summer you can also spend ten hours in the air, working towards your PPL.


Optional modules will also give you the chance to explore related areas such as process chemistry, management or the broader context of surface and air transport in an evolving economy and society.


In Year 2 you’ll learn more about how airlines and airports operate and the practical challenges that arise from commercial, technical, regulatory and political constraints. You’ll also gain an understanding of finance and project management in the context of the aviation industry, considering issues such as price and cost analysis and developing the management skills you’ll need in your future career.

In your final year you’ll learn more about vital issues of safety and reliability in aviation, as well as the health and security issues that affect different elements of the industry. You’ll also deepen your understanding of aerodynamics, aircraft design and construction, and work on a team technology project to apply your knowledge to a specific problem in aviation.
