Programme specification:

At the end of the programme students should have:
- the necessary core knowledge, abilities and skills to pursue a career in airlines, airports or associated aviation industries, or to undertake postgraduate research in an aviation related subject;
- an understanding of the fundamental principles of flight and propulsion;
- an understanding of aircraft design, systems and performance;
- an understanding of the aviation industry, with respect to its organisation, control and legal framework;
- a working knowledge of a modern European language;
- studied core subjects related to the JAR requirements for flight crew licensing.

The programme will:
- provide an academic qualification which will allow graduates to compete effectively for training places to Commercial Pilot Licence level and ultimately for senior positions as airline pilots;
- provide graduates with a wide range of knowledge, abilities and skills of value to the aviation industry;
- allow an option of an Industrial Placement year;
- include business and language modules which should increase employability in the international environment;
- include module teaching from external experts in their fields, such as Chief Flying Instructors and practising commercial airline pilots, as well as guest speakers;
- include team based final year project work, often associated with external organisations. Projects particularly appropriate for management students are available (e.g. in association with Leeds-Bradford Airport).
