Imran M Khawaja, Beng (Hons)This programme lets you combine the practical and theoretical aspects of flying with the underlying principles of aircraft engineering.
You have the option to follow a structured pilot training programme and sit the appropriate ground school examinations needed for the award of a Private Pilot Licence.
A total of 45 flying hours are offered within the training programme, at additional cost, with the twin aims of enabling you to fly solo by the end of level 1 and obtain a Private Pilot Licence by the end of level 2. Lessons are at an additional total cost of £6,500 (correct at August 2010), with flexible payment options – please visit CSE home page for more details.
You can elect to take a year’s relevant industrial placement as part of your degree. This is greatly encouraged for the following reasons:
- An opportunity to apply the knowledge that you have gained at the University;
- Witness the application of modern techniques to your field of interest;
- Obtain a better understanding of the role of some of the theory that you have been taught;
- Experience working for an organisation;
- Discuss your future career with people established within the industry;
- The possibility of working for the same organisation after you graduate. A large proportion of students undertaking a placement with a company are employed by that company after they have graduated.
