This unique course gives you the flexibility to pursue an engineering career designing aircraft from a pilot’s perspective, or to take the first step to become a commercial pilot. The compulsory flying element is mainly in the Fourth Year and is provided by a nationally recognised flight centre either in the UK or the US. There are additional fees for this, but with at an attractively discounted rate compared to other flight centres. There are also opportunities to fly in the First and Second Years as an extracurricular activity, including the chance to use various flight simulators.

About this course
This BEng Honours degree course in Aerospace Systems Engineering with Pilot Studies places is a particular emphasis on the flying qualities from a pilot's point of view;You will get the opportunity to gain a UK National Private Pilot's Licence whilst doing your degree;The flying is offered locally at an attractively discounted rate.
In the past many of our aerospace systems engineering graduates have become professional pilots either with the RAF, Royal Navy, Commercial Airlines or private pilot instructors. By integrating the experience of flying in the initial stages of this degree, you will find the transition to working as a professional pilot easier. Alternatively, graduates may keep flying as a hobby and pursue an engineering career in an aerospace company or a smaller company in the aerospace supply chain.
Students have previously undertaken placements in organisations such as:
Honeywell (UK) Ltd
Goodrich Engine Control Systems
Marshall Aerospace
MBDA
Eads Astrium
Rockwell
and numerous smaller companies
104 UCAS points
The BEng (Hons) Aerospace Systems Engineering with Pilot Studies course is accredited by RAes and IMechE and satisfies, in part, the academic requirements for Chartered Engineer (CEng) registration for the cohort intakes from 2016 up to, and including, 2020.

Course programme
You will study principles of flight and an introduction to aircraft systems and computer packages commonly used in the aerospace industry; you learn more about the design process and will have the opportunity for flying lessons at a local flying school; you will have the option to work for a company on placement; and you can increase your flying experience to satisfy the requirements for a NPPL as part of the Pilot Studies module as well as studying advanced aircraft systems normally used by commercial pilots.
First Year
You will study aerospace technology and industry, engineering mathematics, engineering applications of mathematics, materials and electrical science, mechanical science, introduction to manufacturing technology, career skills development, introduction to design, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics.
Second Year
This year you will study aerothermodynamics, aerospace design, aircraft systems, avionics systems, dynamics and data acquisition and control systems, further engineering mathematics, and PPL Ground School.
Third Year
You have the option of taking an integrated one-year professional placement.
Final Year (3rd or 4th)
This year you will study pilot studies (double module), aerospace performance, propulsion and design (double module, stability and control of aircraft, aerospace systems integration, and an individual major project.
You have the opportunity to spend a year working either in a professional research environment or within industry. The practical experience you gain will be of tremendous benefit both when you resume your studies and when you embark on a career.
