About

Career-focused

Professional Recognition

BEng (Hons) Aircraft Engineering is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council. The accredited BEng (Hons) Aircraft Engineering meets, in part, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as a Chartered Engineer and students will need to complete an approved format of further learning pursuant to the requirements of UK-SPEC.

The accredited BEng (Hons) Aircraft Engineering also automatically meets in full, the exemplifying academic benchmark requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer (IEng).

Accreditation for BEng (Hons) Aircraft Engineering from the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) will be sought in due course. Accreditation will also be sought for MEng (Hons) Aircraft Engineering from both IMechE and RAeS in due course.

GRADUATE INSIGHT

Katie Waddell left UWS with no less than four awards for excellence, ranging from top-performing engineering student to best final-year engineering design project for her work on wingtip aerodynamics.

When Katie graduated UWS with a BEng (Hons) in Aircraft Engineering she was already in a graduate role working with Orbital Access Limited, which is developing a horizontal launch system to send satellites into space.

Katie’s time at UWS helped her clarify what she wanted from a career in engineering and between third and fourth year, she organised herself a three week placement with Thales.

“I really enjoyed my studies and it really helped to consolidate my education from university. The Aircraft Engineering course was very interesting, with a mix of practical laboratories, demonstrations and theory. The lecturers and course leader have an open-door policy and were always more than happy to help.”
