Aerospace Engineering With Pilot Studies, Meng in University of Central Lancashire (UCLAN)

UCLan’s Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies programmes combine the practical and theoretical aspects of flying with the underlying principles of aerospace engineering. The University has excellent aerospace facilities including a full motion simulator and several flight training devices, allowing you to benefit from the practical application of theories taught in the classroom.

• The Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies course is designed to comply with the educational requirements published by the UK Engineering Council.
• You will undertake ‘Private Pilot License (PPL)’ theoretical studies in your 2nd year.
• You will further benefit from the introduction of our new £35 million Engineering Innovation Centre which includes state-of-the-art software tools and flight simulators.

FURTHER INFORMATION

While studying for your Aerospace Engineering degree you will undertake ‘Private Pilot License (PPL)’ theoretical studies in your 2nd year, and successful completion of those subjects, determined by passing the Civil Aviation Authorities Private Pilot’s Licence Examinations. These CAA examinations are an essential component of a PPL. These degree programmes do not include the practical flying components of the PPL (typically 45 hours), but we have arrangements with a flight training school who will offer these to you for an additional fee. You can however, fine tune your practical skills using UCLan’s excellent flight simulators. Practical flying is not an essential component in order to complete these programmes.

You can elect to take a year's relevant industrial placement as part of your degree, which you arrange with our support. Successful completion of an industrial placement year will add 'with Industrial Placement' to your degree title. This learning experience is greatly encouraged and is an excellent opportunity to apply the knowledge that you have gained at the University.

For those students who would like a future career as a commercial pilot, our integrated MEng programme is a great option, it introduces ‘Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL)’ theoretical studies in year four. These are university examinations that are intended to prepare you for sitting CAA ATPL examinations after you have graduated. Again you can make use of our simulation facilities to further develop your flying skills, and practical flying can be arranged at additional cost with our flight training school partners.

These programmes are an ideal way to gain the theoretical training required to obtain a pilot’s license while simultaneously gaining an engineering degree.
