Are you considering a career in aircraft maintenance? The BEng(Hons) Aircraft Engineering will set you on the path to becoming an aircraft maintenance engineer and a maintenance manager in the future. You will be based at our International Centre for Aerospace Training (ICAT), where your studies will include hands-on experience of aircraft component and equipment replacement, inspection, condition monitoring, fault diagnosis and rectification. You’ll become familiar with the work environment and the legal requirements relating to the commercial aviation industry. As part of your studies you will have unlimited access to our state-of-the-art Elite Flight Simulators to enhance your learning experience. This is the only UK degree that mirrors the requirements of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) Part-147- approved courses. Once you graduate, you’ll need just two years’ maintenance experience before applying to the CAA for your B Licence (the main licence for aircraft maintenance staff ). The course covers all the knowledge requirements specified in the EASA category B1.1 aircraft maintenance engineering licence syllabus (Part 66). It introduces you to practical and maintenance skills, and provides you with opportunities to practice and develop these skills. The degree is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) as meeting the requirements for IEng registration with the Engineering Council.
