Engineering - Aeronautical Engineering
The program will enable our graduates to have the ability to develop creative and innovative solutions to technical problems using their engineering expertise. Using their aeronautical engineering knowledge they will be able to apply new technological developments to the design, manufacture, testing, operation and maintenance of aircraft.
Key Facts
The programme produces technically-competent, well-rounded engineering graduates that have a good understanding of the aviation industry. 86% of 2019 graduates are employed in companies such as Airbus Helicopters, ABL Aviation, Ryanair, Lufthansa Technik, Cityjet and UTC Aerospace Systems.
