Avionic Systems Meng (hons) in University of Liverpool

This programme provides a deeper level of knowledge than the BEng degree in Avionic Systems, allowing for more specialisation and a faster route to a recognised professional qualification as a Chartered Engineer.

Modules explore the technical and industrial management aspects of a professional engineer’s role. An additional fee of approximately £3,400 is required to cover the costs of the mandatory 20 hours pilot training that is required for all students who choose the Pilot Studies pathway and work towards the NPPL, JAA/PPL and fATPL.

Programme in detail

The first two years of this programme are the same as the BEng programme. In the third year, there is some commonality, but there is more emphasis on longer term project work. This gives you more time to develop your interests and knowledge of the subject.

There is also a group project which interfaces with other disciplines within Aerospace Engineering to provide specialist avionics expertise on large scale airframe design. Examples from previous years have included the design of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and their associated control systems and sensor suites.

The fourth year offers you more depth in your speciality (eg radar systems or navigation systems and flight control) and further hands-on project work. This year also includes flight simulator work with flight handling qualities, advanced guidance systems and avionic systems design modules.
