About

Are you considering a career in aircraft maintenance? This degree will set you on the path to becoming an aircraft maintenance engineer and a maintenance manager in the future.

Your studies will include hands-on experience of aircraft component and equipment replacement, inspection, condition monitoring, fault diagnosis and rectification. You'll become familiar with the work environment and the legal requirements relating to commercial aircraft.

The skills you gain will improve your career prospects and enable you to complete further study.

This forerunner of this course, the Aircraft Engineering Foundation Degree, plus the BSc (Hons) top-up was delivered for 13 years (2001 to 2013). During that time, many hundreds of students achieved the foundation award and went on to obtain careers in the aircraft maintenance industry. And, several hundred practising licensed engineers completed the honours top-up to complement their vocational licence. Therefore, it would probably be true to say that you will find an ex-Kingston aircraft engineering student in almost every maintenance organisation in the UK and many overseas.
