Course details
If you are interested in a career in aircraft maintenance engineering and would rise to the challenge of maintaining a plane, this is the course for you.
Industry Need
Foundation Degree in Aircraft Engineering (FdEng) is an industry-based, vocational qualification designed for people who want to get a practical start to their career.
In addition to providing a fast-track entry to industry, the Foundation Degree in Aircraft Engineering (FdEng) gives you the option of taking your studies further to a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Aircraft Engineering awarded by Kingston University London through a Top Up programme.
Course Objectives
This is a 2 years full-time degree designed to cover the basic knowledge requirements for the SAR Part 66 Cat B1.1 Licence and the Foundation Degree in Aircraft Engineering (FdEng) requirements of Kingston University London.
With 8 Aerospace WSQ modules embedded within the syllabus, successful graduands will concurrently attain the Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) Higher Certificate in Aerospace Maintenance (Aircraft Maintenance – Mechanical) and Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) Higher Certificate in Aerospace Maintenance (Engine/Engine Repair and Overhaul).
Course Structure
Foundation Degree in Aircraft Engineering (FdEng) is a 2 years full-time programme. Kingston University London in conjunction with KLM UK Engineering Ltd, designed and developed the Foundation Degree in Aircraft Engineering (FdEng).
The modules in this 2 years full-time degree programme will provide a firm foundation for an Aircraft Engineer. A work-based module covers ‘hand skills’ to aircraft engineering standard. Other modules gives you an understanding of the work environment and legal requirements relating to the operation of commercial aircraft.
