Honours Degree (BSc) in Aircraft Engineering
School of Construction, Engineering and Science in partnership with Kingston University of London
Level 6 – Honours Degree or NVQ Level 6 or Equivalent
Full-Time
If you are interested in a career in aircraft engineering maintenance and would rise to the challenge of signing off aircraft as fit to fly, this programme is ideal. If you successfully complete and satisfy the EASA requirements of the course can apply for an EASA aircraft maintenance licence after a further period of work experience. Please note that the work experience does not form part of the course.
The programme is designed primarily to provide a higher education funded path to a career as a licensed aircraft maintenance engineer in the aircraft industry. However, it also provides an alternative to the more commonly found aerospace design courses for those wishing to seek employment in other areas of the aviation industry such as maintenance planning and control, product development, technical services and other support departments.
This programme is the only UK degree that mirrors the requirements of EASA Part-147 approved courses, and it is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society as meeting the requirements for IEng registration with the Engineering Council. Newcastle College is EASA Part-147 approved.
