This is an additional year of study at Carmel College in St.Helens, where student s Maths and Physics is brought up to the required standard. Applicants who have already taken Maths and Physics A-level require a minimum of CDD, whilst those without these A-levels require CCC as a minimum. Students that pass their Foundation Year (a 50% overall exam average is required) qualify for entry to Year 1 of the Engineering degree programme of their choice.

8 What is Aerospace Engineering? Aerospace Engineering is the primary branch of engineering concerned with the design, construction and science of aircraft and spacecraft. Aeronautical craft that remain within the Earth s atmosphere Astronautical craft that operate outside of the Earth s atmosphere...well that partially covers it. Adapted from Wikipedia

11 Aerospace Engineering Gap Year Encouraged on all programmes Ideally taken between Y2 and Y3

12 Aerospace Engineering Work Experience Encouraged on all programmes but not mandatory

13 Aerospace Engineering Admissions UCAS application process begins (Mid-September) Make up to 5 UCAS course applications (by 15 th January, though may be considered up to 30 th June) If you have applied here, you will receive an invitation to a Post-Application Visit Day (PAVD) Attend PAVD when invited (various dates) Receive UoL offer of a place via UCAS Track (5 10 working days) Make decisions as to which is your Firm and Insurance offer places (by 8 th May) Sit your exams. If you meet the conditions of your offer, come and study with us in September

14 Aerospace Engineering KSPs Difficult to formulate USPs as all Engineering courses need to meet the requirements of the accrediting bodies Approach to learning and teaching Employability Facilities

15 THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE AT LIVERPOOL BEGINS WITH LECTURES THAT INTRODUCE CONCEPTS, THEORIES AND IDEAS BUT QUICKLY MOVES ON TO ACTIVITIES IN WHICH STUDENTS DISCUSS, MANIPULATE, APPLY, ANALYSE AND EVALUATE LEARNING OUR APPROACH TARGETS ENHANCED UNDERSTANDING THROUGH ACTIVE PARTICIPATION OUR EMPHASIS IS ON THE APPLICATION OF SCIENTIFIC THEORY IN THE SOLUTION OF PRACTICAL PROBLEMS THIS IS ENGINEERING, AND LIVERPOOL IS DIFFERENT BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS DON T JUST LEARN ABOUT IT THEY DO IT

16 The best 75 engineering universities, from 39 countries, across 5 continents Working with industry to define the ideal set of knowledge, skills and experience for a 21C graduate Liverpool is one of 5 UK Uni s in CDIO Our graduates are amongst the most employable in the world Working together to develop new ways of teaching that target knowledge acquisition AND skills development Graduates from CDIO degree programmes are different, and industry recognises them as the most desirable

17 THE LIVERPOOL ENGINEER Benefits from a 35 million investment in the development of a modern learning environment

18 THE LIVERPOOL ENGINEER Practices engineering in the Active Learning Laboratory - one of the world s only facilities designed and equipped specifically to accommodate a 21C engineering education

19 Aerospace Engineering Careers The obvious...

20 Aerospace Engineering Careers The not so obvious...

21 Aerospace Engineering Careers And ones you might never think about......and any employer that is looking for a graduate with the following...

22 DEVELOP MANUFACTURE SUPPLY OPERATE CONCEIVE DESIGN AWARENESS & UNDERSTANDING OF HUMAN, SOCIAL, POLITICAL, ECONOMIC, BUSINESS, MEDICAL & ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES INNOVATIVE PRODUCTS, PROCESSES & SYSTEMS MAINTAIN DISPOSE OF EXPERTISE IN MATHEMATICS, PHYSICAL SCIENCES, ENGINEERING SCIENCES, SIMULATION, EXPERIMENTATION, & ANALYSIS MANAGEMENT OF THE CREATIVE PROCESS PROJECT, COST AND RISK MANAGEMENT INTERDISCIPLINARY COLLABORATION SOPHISTICATED COMMUNICATION & TEAMWORKING SKILLS

23 Aerospace Engineering Professional Bodies All UoL Aerospace Engineering degree programmes are dual-accredited. This is essential for applicants that who wish to become Professional (Chartered) Engineers

24 THE LIVERPOOL ENGINEER Applies their theoretical learning in the solution of practical engineering problems THE REMOTELY CONTROLLED AIRCRAFT
