BSc (Hons) Aircraft Engineering and Maintenance Systems

The aviation sector has seen unprecedented growth in recent years and there is now a significant shortage of personnel qualified to work in the industry. This does not just apply to pilots, but to maintenance and support staff that keep these aircraft flying. There is a growing market for maintenance, repair and overhaul of commercial aircraft that require expertise in the management, planning and organisation of maintenance scheduling. By completing this course, students will qualify to work in these areas while also giving them the option of studying towards an accelerated EASA Part-66 Basic Aircraft Maintenance Licence. Graduates can find employment with manufacturing companies, commercial airlines, air-taxi operators, flying schools and the armed forces.
