Aircraft Engineering

UK University

Overview

Aircraft Engineering is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a two year higher national diploma, which carries into the final year of a degree.

Teaching in Aeronautical and Aerospace Engineering is accredited by a professional institution at most universities, which is what counts later if you want chartered status.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.

Entry requirements

Careers opportunities

Accreditation is the thing to check before anything else on an engineering course, because it decides whether the degree counts toward chartered status later. A three year bachelor's meets part of the academic requirement; the integrated master's meets all of it.

Roles graduates go into

  • Graduate engineer in your discipline
  • Design engineer
  • Project engineer
  • Manufacturing or process engineer
  • Technical consultant
  • Quality or reliability engineer

Where they work

  • Engineering consultancies
  • Manufacturers and their supply chains
  • Energy, water and infrastructure operators
  • Defence and aerospace
  • Automotive and rail
After the course

Incorporated or chartered engineer status through the relevant institution, which takes an accredited degree plus a logged period of professional development in post.
