Progression Route

Students meeting a set of strict requirements set out by the EASA have the option of moving to the BSc (Hons) Aircraft Maintenance Engineering accelerated route in achieving the EASA Part-66 basic licence. This progression opportunity is only available for students transitioning to year 2, no other opportunity would exist after this stage.It is expected that the majority of students graduating from this award will go on to gain graduate employment in the aviation industry.Graduates achieving at least 2:2 classification from this award are well placed to go on to further study the MSc in Aviation Engineering and Management.
