Curriculum
What you will study
You will study fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft performance and will analyse aircraft structures. You will evaluate materials for aircraft applications and the fundamental principles of air transport economics and their application to management decision-making.
You will also learn about the fundamentals of project planning and mapping and will complete significant group and individual projects on industry-related topics.
Partner institutions
The following partners also deliver the top-up course:
- Air Transport Training College (ATTC), Singapore. This course is open to local SAR Part-66 category B licence holders. Applicants need to pass an entry test and interview conducted by ATTC and may be expected to complete a short bridging course prior to starting the degree.
- Nilia University, Malaysia. This course is currently only available to students who complete the Nilai University Diploma in Aircraft Engineering.
- Sri Lankan Aviation College (SLAC).
Application for places on these courses must be made directly to the institute. Please note that local restrictions apply.

The forerunner of this course, the Aircraft Engineering Foundation Degree, plus the BSc(Hons) top-up was delivered for 13 years (2001 to 2013). During that time, many hundreds of students achieved the foundation award and went on to obtain careers in the aircraft maintenance industry. And, several hundred practising licensed engineers completed the honours top-up to complement their vocational licence. Therefore, it would probably be true to say that you will find an ex Kingston aircraft engineering student in almost every maintenance organisation in the UK. And, in many overseas organisations as well.
