This unique course is the only one of its kind in Scotland and is designed to produce graduate-calibre aircraft maintenance engineers.
The BSc (Hons) Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and Management meets the syllabus requirements of the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA) Category B1.1 aircraft maintenance licence syllabus (EASA Part-66)*. Delivered in conjunction with Air Service Training (Eng) Ltd**, the longest-established aviation maintenance training organisation of its type in the world, it provides you with the opportunity to obtain an Approved EASA and/or UKCAA Part 66 Certificate of Recognition in addition to an honours level degree.
The Approved Part 66 Certificate of Recognition allows a reduction of the minimum aircraft maintenance experience required by an individual before applying for an aircraft maintenance licence.
Obtaining a Category B1.1 licence is the first step on the path to becoming a certifying, licensed aircraft engineer, a person responsible for signing off (certifying) the work carried out on aircraft, systems and equipment.
The course is taught by staff with industrial experience both in military and civilian environments. You will combine academic and technical knowledge, understanding and skills, with the personal qualities and leadership skills needed to succeed in this dynamic industry.
3 Scottish Highers at BCC or above one of these must be Maths; you must have grade B or above in either Maths, Physics, or Engineering Science; OR 2 A levels at grade C or above one of these must be Mathematics
PLUS
National 5 Physics at grade B and National 5 English at grade C OR GCSE Physics at grade B and English at grade C
Alternatively, Foundation Apprenticeship Engineering level 6, or NC level 6 in an engineering discipline, plus National 5 Physics at grade B and National 5 English at grade C
Applicants with other relevant qualifications or experience will be considered on an individual basis, as will applicants who have equivalent or higher level qualifications from other disciplines, wishing to enter the program to undertake a career change into aircraft maintenance engineering and complete the EASA completion certificate
