Overview

This Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies programme from The University of Lancashire is an ideal way to gain the theoretical training required to obtain a pilot’s license while simultaneously gaining an engineering degree.

You’ll undertake Private Pilot License (PPL) theoretical studies in Year 2. Successful completion of this is determined by passing the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Private Pilot’s Licence Examinations.

Career opportunities:

Studying Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies leads to careers in the aerospace, space, defence, automotive, biotechnology, computing, electronics, energy and manufacturing sectors.

The MEng option is ideal if you aspire to become a commercial pilot. It introduces Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) theoretical studies in Year 4. These are university examinations designed to prepare you for sitting CAA ATPL examinations after you’ve graduated.

You’ll be able to make use of our simulation facilities to further develop your flying skills, and practical flying can be arranged at additional cost with our flight training school partners. This is a great way to gain the theoretical training required to obtain a pilot’s license while simultaneously gaining an engineering degree.
