This course will allow you to combine studying for the ATPL theoretical exam with studying for a BSc (Hons) degree. This balance of skills is highly sought-after by global aviation industry employers. The University of West London has a strong connection with Heathrow Airport Limited and you will be based at our Ealing site, which is just 10 miles from Heathrow, one of the world's busiest international airports. The University is also home to the Heathrow Archive and Exhibition, which students and the public can visit. The course is delivered by a diverse and experienced team of experts in the aviation industry with established links to numerous airlines and aviation companies. Working closely with our industry partners and a number of Approved Training Organisations (ATOs) this course has been developed to enable graduates to have an understanding of the aviation sector from a managerial and operational perspective. You will combine your theory and academic studies and will have access to our on site Boeing 737 flight simulator, which provides a practical learning environment. Guest lectures from aviation experts and opportunities for industry visits will support and enhance your learning. The aviation sector offers new entrants a range of opportunities. On completion of this degree you could follow a career with an airline within their operations or commercial department or you could go on to complete the fATPL (within three years of sitting the ATPL theoretical exam).
