The programme is very similar to the MEng Aerospace Engineering degree programme (H421), but includes the pilot studies modules in Years One and Two from the BEng Aerospace Engineering with Pilot Studies degree programme (H401). The MEng is designed to offer students a greater depth and breadth of specialist knowledge in the core aerospace subjects with a range of advanced Year Four modules in subjects such as Configurational Aerodynamics, Aircraft Design, Lightweight Materials, Flight Handling Qualities, Rotorcraft, Advanced Guidance Systems and Management. Year One includes an icebreaker group project as well as a one week team project to design, build and fly a small aircraft. Students also study Structures, Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, Maths, Electronics, Management, Design and Engineering Skills. The Pilot Studies module (based on the PPL ground school syllabus) complements the flight training programme of 20 hours which is mandatory. Year Two students take modules in Aeroengines, Avionics, Computer programming, Maths, Dynamics, Structures, Design, Aircraft Performance and Project Management. The Pilot Studies module is based on the Air Transport Pilot’s Licence (ATPL) ground school syllabus. Year Three students undertake an individual project providing the opportunity to conduct research and develop innovative concepts in their preferred technical area of interest. They also take modules in Aircraft Design, Aerodynamics, Flight dynamics and control, Aerostructures, Avionics, Composite Materials and Management. They can also take optional modules in topics such as Spaceflight. An additional fee of approximately £3,400 is required to cover the costs of the mandatory 20 hours pilot training.

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.
