The academic content of the H401 programme is very similar to that of the BEng Aerospace Engineering degree Programme (H425). The first two years of the BEng programme are identical to that of the MEng programme (H402) and includes the same pilot studies modules in the first and second years of study. In the first year, students study core modules including Mathematics, Design, Digital Systems, Electronics, Mechanics and Pilot Studies (based on the PPL ground school syllabus). A flight training programme of 20 hours is mandatory during this year. This is followed in the second year by modules in, for example, Aerostructures, Aeroengines, Aircraft Performance, Avionic Systems, Instrumentation and Pilot Studies (based on the ATPL ground school syllabus). In the final year students will study modules that include Aerodynamics, Flight Dynamics and Control, and Aircraft Design, together with an individual project that allows the student the opportunity to apply their knowledge to an aerospace-related problem.

The University of Liverpool’s Careers & Employability Service maximises opportunities for career prospects, graduate opportunities, student summer placements and the annual engineering careers fair with 30 blue chip companies attending (including Jaguar Land Rover, Nestle, Toyota, JCB, British Army, United Utilities, ABB Ltd, Network Rail, BAE Systems and many more). Our degrees provide pathways into rewarding careers and our graduates have found employment in a wide range of international industries and organisations. Many also go on to postgraduate study. Postgraduate opportunities A number of our graduates go on to post-graduate study at MSc or PhD level, either remaining at Liverpool or going to another institution of their choice.
