Aerospace Engineering (Private Pilot Instruction) Meng (Hon)

This course is the same as our aerospace engineering degree, with added initial flight training. The extra year of in-depth study on this four year course prepares you for a career in industry.<br/><br/>**With an integrated masters, begin your journey as a pilot by combining hands-on experience of flying and building aircraft with a thorough understanding of aerospace engineering.**<br/><br/>This MEng brings together the essential theories of aerospace engineering with more intensive pilot training.<br/><br/>By choosing to take an MEng, you’ll be taking a longer period of study with an integrated masters.<br/><br/>Over four years you’ll study modules on propulsion, instrumentation, computation and design of aerodynamics – tailoring the degree to follow either avionic systems or aeromechanics.<br/><br/>Alongside the theoretical, you’ll take ground training for flight and five hours of flight training. You can also expand your experience thanks to our links with the Yorkshire Universities Air Squadron.<br/><br/>We’ll teach you how to manage a project from start to finish, and how to communicate with people from a wide range of engineering disciplines. In your final year, youll work on a research project led by one of our world leading academics.<br/><br/>This course is the ideal first step on the journey to becoming a pilot, and you can make arrangements with local flying schools to continue to a UK or European private pilots licence once you graduate.<br/><br/>**Why study this course?**<br/>- **Top 5 for aeronautical and manufacturing engineering** - as rated by The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2024.
