Aerospace engineers find creative solutions to problems of industry, the environment and society. Our Aerospace Engineering Apprenticeship (Level 6) trains aerospace professionals to become qualified engineers. Train with us and prepare to solve real-world engineering challenges, such as the sustainability of the aerospace industry.
Our new inclusive, problem-based curriculum will broaden our engineering audience, enabling students from a wider range of backgrounds to pursue a career in engineering. The course is already popular with employers, such as Airbus, Rolls-Royce and GKN, to name a few.
This curriculum is mapped to the Aerospace Engineer Apprenticeship Standard, approved by employers from across the aerospace sector, and by the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education (IfATE). Professional Bodies such as the Royal Aeronautical Society have been involved in this process, ensuring our graduate engineers achieve the required skills and competencies.
GCSE Grade C/4 or above in English and Maths All apprentices must be employed by an aerospace-related organisation.
The apprentice must hold current registration with one of the statutory regulators of aerospace professions e.g. i.e. The Royal Aeronautical Society.
Jobs you could do
What you could study next
After completing the BEng (Hons) in Aerospace Engineering (Manufacturing), you could pursue a MEng or MSc in Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering to deepen your specialism. Chartered Engineer (CEng) status through the Royal Aeronautical Society or the Engineering Council is a natural next step for those with the required experience and academic achievement. The BEng is accredited in part toward the CEng academic requirement for the 2025 intake.
