The Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies course from the University of the West of England (UWE Bristol) is a scientifically demanding and practically focused degree that combines the principles of aerospace engineering with practical and theoretical pilot training. The course integrates the science and technology of aerospace engineering with the hands-on realisation of aerospace concepts.Course Content: The course covers advanced aerospace topics, aeronautical design principles, flight mechanics, aircraft systems, aircraft structures and materials. Students will also learn about aero-propulsion and study aerodynamics using a flight simulator and wind tunnels. Practical pilot training will be undertaken alongside studying the principles of aerospace engineering. The practical flight training (PPL) is managed by our partner organisation, BCFT, and is undertaken at Bournemouth airport.Key Modules: Some of the key modules in the course include Aerospace Design; Aircraft Systems and Structures; Aerodynamics and Propulsion; Aircraft Materials and Manufacture; and Pilot Training and Theory.Accreditations: The course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirements for Incorporated Engineer (IEng) and partly meeting the academic requirements for a Chartered Engineer (CEng).Future Careers: This course prepares graduates for a range of careers in aerospace design, aviation management, roles in the air transport industry, organisations developing UAV applications and employment in government research agencies. There are also opportunities in the military and commercial sectors of aerospace engineering.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page here.
