Engineering Programmes BEng (Hons) in Aircraft Maintenance - Part Time

Apply

The Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) in Aircraft Maintenance is delivered in collaboration with Coventry University, UK. The two year (part time) programme is designed to provide a higher education to those possessing the equivalent of an EASA or GCAA Certificate of Recognition B1/B2. The curriculum is specifically designed to extend knowledge in areas of aircraft safety, and quality management that are relevant to all maintenance engineers.

Why enrol on this programme?

This programme gives aircraft maintenance engineers, holders of a GCAA / EASA category B1/B2 licence or equivalent, the opportunity to develop their career and consolidate their professional experience by gaining an internationally recognised academic award in a maximum of 24 months (part time) without having to take extensive time off work.

The programme gives maintenance engineers the opportunity to work in areas such as technical services, support services, maintenance planning and product development.

Qualification

Graduates of this programme will receive a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons.) in Aircraft Maintenance from Coventry University, UK (Ranked No. 12 UK University*) recognised by KHDA, UAE. The programme is accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Engineering Society, RAeS, UK.  This enables graduate of this programme to qualify for the Status of CEng, Chartered Engineer and/or IEng, Incorporated Engineer in their discipline.

Accreditation

The Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Aircraft Maintenance is a dual award programme conferred by Emirates Aviation University and Coventry University, UK.

  • This degree has been accredited by the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) under licence from the UK regulator, the Engineering Council.  Accreditation is a mark of assurance that the degree meets the standards set by the Engineering Council in the UK Standard for Professional Engineering Competence (UK-SPEC).  An accredited degree will provide you with some or all of the underpinning knowledge, understanding and skills for eventual registration as an Incorporated (IEng).  Some employers recruit preferentially from accredited degrees, and an accredited degree is likely to be recognised by other countries that are signatories to international accords.
  • This programme is offered by EAU’s Institute of Applied Research & Technology and it is not accredited by the UAE Commission for Academic Accreditations.

Career Prospects

EAU has a first-rate working relationship with Emirates Airlines and other UAE local aviation establishments, which offer excellent job opportunities. Our students have successfully found careers in maintenance engineering with various aerospace companies, component manufacturers and service providers.

Duration
