Why study Aerospace Engineering with Pilot studies?

MEng Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies offers an Aerospace Engineering degree with aviation industry-focused insight and skills development, allowing graduates to become more informed engineers or pilots depending on their future career interest and training.

If you're fascinated by the history, technology and progress of aircraft and aviation, we'll take your passion and transform it into career-shaping skills and experience.

Why UWE Bristol?

Our new inclusive, problem-based curriculum will broaden our engineering audience, enabling students from a wider range of backgrounds to pursue a career in engineering. To date, we're the first university in the UK to transform our curriculum alongside constructing a new engineering building.

You'll explore aerospace engineering alongside the competencies required of a Private Pilot Licence. The Pilot Study modules are based on real-world pilot training material (but not approved/certified training assessments) with a focus on providing knowledge in areas such as navigation, aviation safety, aircraft instrument systems and regulations at a practical level. The Aerospace Engineering modules provide skills and capabilities in disciplines such as materials and structures; aerodynamics, propulsion and manufacturing. Additional modules provide tutoring towards professional practice, such as project work, communication, and presentation skills.

This course will give you a good grounding towards a Private Pilot Licence (PPL) but completion of the degree does not lead to a full PPL and does not assure being granted a flying licence of any sort.

See the Structure section below for more details.

The course has been accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society on behalf of the Engineering Council, up to and including the 2024 intake and re-accreditation is currently being sought for the intakes from 2025 onwards.

Our MEng Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies has been designed with input from regional aerospace partners. You'll gain the skills needed to become future technical specialists and leaders within the aerospace industry.

Where can it take me?

As a student engineer, you'll start your professional journey towards becoming an incorporated or chartered engineer from day one. You'll learn by doing, applying and revisiting your early skills through embedded project weeks and development of digital and physical prototypes, as you would in practice.

As a graduate, you'll be set for a career in the aerospace industry. You'll have exciting career prospects, working on the design and manufacture of civil and military aircraft, to working with helicopters and jet engines.

You will need to meet the following Level 2 requirements:

  • GCSE:  Grade C/4 in English and Mathematics, or equivalent.

In addition to the above Level 2 qualifications, you'll need to achieve the published tariff points from your Level 3 studies prior to entry. Below is an indicative list of the main qualification types. However, we will consider any Level 3 qualifications towards meeting our entry requirements.

  • Tariff points:  120
  • Contextual tariff:  See our contextual offers page.
  • English Language Requirement:

    International and EU applicants are required to have a minimum overall IELTS (Academic) score of 6.0 with 5.5 in each component (or approved equivalent*).

    *The university accepts a large number of UK and International Qualifications in place of IELTS. You can find details of acceptable tests and the required grades you will need in English Language requirements.

  • A-level subjects:  Grade C in Mathematics plus a pass in one of the following subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Computing/Computer Science, Design and Technology, Electronics, Engineering, ICT, Further Maths, Music Technology, Physics, Statistics.
  • Relevant subjects:  Biology; Chemistry; Computing/Computer Science, Design and Technology, Electronics, Engineering, ICT, Further Maths, Mathematics, Music Technology, Physics, Statistics.
  • EDEXCEL (BTEC) Diploma:  You must be studying one of the following: Aeronautical Engineering, Construction and the Built Environment, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Engineering, Land-based Technology, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Operations and Maintenance Engineering.

    To include Merit in one of the following units: Further Engineering Mathematics or Further Mathematics for Construction.

    Please list the units you are taking in your application. For further advice on acceptable units please email us.

    For information on required Guided Learning Hours please see our minimum entry requirements page.

  • Access:  15 Level 3 credits at Merit in Mathematics and 15 credits at Pass in another Science or Technology subject.
  • Baccalaureate IB:  To include a minimum grade of 5 in Higher Level Mathematics and a Pass at Higher Level in one of the following subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Design Technology, Physics, Environmental Systems and Societies. We accept the IB Career-related Programme in conjunction with other Level 3 qualifications.
  • Irish Highers:  H2 in Mathematics plus a pass in one of the following subjects: Biology; Chemistry; Engineering; Physics; Technology.
