Course Description

This programme provides a deeper level of knowledge than the BEng degree in Avionic Systems, allowing for more specialisation and a faster route to a recognised professional qualification as a Chartered Engineer.

Modules explore the technical and industrial management aspects of a professional engineer’s role. An additional fee of approximately £3,400 is required to cover the costs of the mandatory 20 hours pilot training that is required for all students who choose the pilot studies pathway and work towards the NPPL, JAA/PPL and fATPL.

This programme is accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology on behalf of the Engineering Council for the purposes of fully meeting the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer.

This programme is available with a Year in China. The Year in China offers undergraduate students the opportunity to spend one year at our joint venture, Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU), following XJTLU's BA China Studies degree classes. XJTLU is a fully English-speaking university, located in Suzhou. If you wish to study this programme with a Year in China you will have the opportunity to apply after you arrive at Liverpool.
