BEng (Hons) in Avionics Technology

Avionics and Aeronautical Engineering is a highly-advanced discipline that explores how flight is possible, how flying vehicles are manufactured, powered, operated, controlled and maintained. This programme provides you with the practical training and commercial acumen you will need to succeed in this high-technology field.x

The BEng (Hons.) in Avionics Technology is a three-year programme designed to offer a stimulating, dynamic, and high-quality vocational course in aerospace and aeronautical engineering. This programme prepares learners for various jobs and careers in the airline industry on aircraft acquisitions, planning, configuration and maintenance.

The BEng (Hons.) in avionics Technology is a tree year program based on the British model for higher education awards. During those three years learners will receive a broad education and application in all work in one of the most technologically advanced branches of engineering. They design, construct, test and maintain electrical and electronics equipment on aircraft. Working within this field, will give you the chance to conceptualise a project, from the drawing board to planning and implementation.

The structure of the programme is skill-based with less focus on theory and more on coursework and application. Students will learn the intricacies of aircraft avionics systems, the various types of system failure that can occur and the implications of failures. It blends various disciplines such as mathematics, science, avionics technology including aerodynamics, flight control, electronics and communication. It is a highly skill-based programme with a view to making the learner skills transferable to a range of employment options within the aviation industry.
