Course summary
What this course is about
UCAS code: H404
Here's what University of Liverpool says about its Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies with a Year in Industry course.
The main aerospace engineering topics you’ll study include aerodynamics, aero structures, flight dynamics and control, propulsion systems, communications, avionics and aircraft materials. The programmes include a two day flight test course in a Jetstream aircraft. Our Aerospace Engineering degree programmes are double accredited (by the Royal Aeronautical Society and the Institute of Mechanical Engineers). This programme is very similar to that of the Aerospace Engineering degree programmes (H425 and H421) but also introduces elements of pilot studies for students interested in becoming pilots. In Year One, the Pilot studies module (based on the PPL ground school syllabus) complements the flight training programme of 20 hours which is mandatory. In Year Two, the Pilot studies module is based on the Air Transport Pilot’s Licence (ATPL) ground school syllabus.
This programme is accredited by:
The Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.
The Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer. Work placement/Year in industry - Students are encouraged to gain relevant work experience to enhance their employability by applying for a summer internship or a year placement with an approved company/organisation. The School of Engineering MEng and BEng with a year in industry programmes are available to all* students. Whilst the School of Engineering and the University will provide the necessary support and guidance, it is the responsibility of the student to secure an industrial placement. Applicants should note that industrial placements are highly sought after and competition to be accepted into one can be significant. They therefore cannot be guaranteed. Students who fail to secure a suitable placement offer will transfer back to the standard version of the programme without a year in industry.
*Overseas students are applicable, though restrictions may apply. Read more: https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/studentsupport/international/livingandworking/workingduringyourstudies/

First and second year I felt was inadequate when it comes to this. However third year things appear clearer and I see support everywhere from my course, lecturers, library and guild. The support provided can flourish when no other factors are in the way such as Covid and strikes

Amazing so many opportunities but I am only really aware of them now in my final year. I wish things were ran better during my first and second year as I felt I missed out. The library is very helpful and we have a student guild which provides food drink and social space

I like my timetable as it provides days off where I have time to read and prepare for my modules. Sometimes I wish there was more preparation workshops for upcoming assessments to students are better prepared as my course offers a range of traditional and non traditional assessments which can be int...
