Students firstly study the HNC Aeronautical Engineering and then have the option to progress to the HND.<br/>Designed to help you build technical knowledge and skills, our course focuses on the underlying principles of aeronautical engineering. You will develop the skills to recognise and alleviate risk, create a safe and efficient operating environment, and assess vital information. With a focus on your future, you will also build transferable skills and learn about the decision-making methods used by industry.<br/>The Pearson BTEC Higher National Diploma (HND) is at level 5 (the same as the first and second year of a UK honours degree). It is a seven-unit qualification which involves studying four mandatory core subjects and a further three specialist subjects. The units have been selected to meet a broad range of local industry needs.<br/>Our aeronautical engineering students will be based in our aviation and engineering classrooms, workshops and emulation zone that keep teaching and learning apace with cutting-edge innovation and discovery including the use of virtual reality technologies and a flight simulator.<br/>We have a strong focus on employability, and our training partners and professional connections can give students the chance to immerse themselves in the industry. Our close proximity to East Midlands Airport, along with other regional aviation partners, means students have the opportunity for networking, seasonal jobs and work placements where available.<br/>At ASI Newark, students learn from skilled lecturers who have a high level of working knowledge, based on industry experience.
