Presentación

University of South Wales’s aircraft maintenance engineering degree is a balanced practical and theory-based course for the licence element, and a professional engineering degree course.

This aircraft maintenancecourse is recognised by European Aviation Law, as detailed by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), and gives you access to real aircraft experience. We are the only University in the UK that has integrated the industry-standard aircraft maintenance qualification ‘EASA Part-66’ with an Honours degree, and deliver it on campus. On completion of the required EASA training, you will be able to obtain a full EASA Part-66 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer License in just two years, which usually requires five years professional experience.*

The University has a unique partnership with British Airways.

Don’t worry if you do not meet these requirements, we run a number of courses to prepare you for academic studies

Programa

Year One
Year one provides you with basic knowledge of routine mathematical methods, essential scientific principles, and engineering practices. It is your introduction to the use of design tools, manufacturing and workshop techniques, health and safety protocols, project management and professional practice.

EASA Modules:

Analytical Method for Engineers
Physics*
Electrical Fundamentals
Electronic Fundamentals*
Basic Aerodynamics*
Human Factors*
Aviation Legislation
Non EASA modules:

Professional Practice for Engineers
Year Two
In your second year, you will begin to explore key areas such as aerodynamics and flight mechanics, supported by further mathematics and mechanics. You will develop a practical engineering base through group work on aircraft design, and understand regulatory and environmental requirements.

EASA Modules:

Maintenance Practices for B1 licence – 40 credits
Instrumentation Systems
Materials & Hardware
Propeller
Non EASA modules:

Engineering Management & Business Constraints
Year Three
Year three modules cover a range of technical subjects including stability and control, propulsion, aircraft materials and structures, and modelling techniques. The modules allow you to evaluate and analyse key challenges in aeronautical engineering and devise costeffective solutions. You will learn about planning, operations, regulations, health and safety, and management, which are important issues within aeronautical engineering. You will also complete a project in a topic of your choice.

EASA Modules:

Aerodynamics of Flight
Aircraft Structures & Systems
Gas Turbine Engine – 30 credits
Non EASA modules:

Project Research Methodology*
Engineering Project Management and Business Methods
Individual Project – 30 credits

*10 credit module

The above information is a sample module description for illustrative purposes. Modules and module content may change from time to time.

Learning and teaching methods
You will be taught through a combination of lectures, tutorials, workshops and seminars, in addition to independently preparing for lectures. The course is an intensive study package, you will be required to attend classes for up to 27 hours per week during term time. The first year is mostly based on theoretical aspects of aircraft engineering but there are some elements of practical activities in the avionic modules. The second and third year studies ore more mixed with practical activities such as working on the aircraft, carrying out mechanical repairs in the workshop and using composite materials.

Salidas profesionales

This aircraft maintenance engineering degree course offers excellent career opportunities worldwide. The EASA Part-66 Licence qualifies its holders to be selected for further aircraft-type authorisation before being permitted to sign off aircraft for flight. You can gain employment throughout the UK and across the world with manufacturing companies, commercial airlines, air-taxi operators, flying schools, the armed forces and commercial long-haul flights. There is a growing market for maintenance, repair and overhaul of military and commercial aircraft, or you may choose sub-contract work.
