Bachelor's in Aeronautical / Aerospace Engineering
The highest academic pathway in aviation engineering — for those who want to design, develop and manufacture aircraft, not just maintain them. Delivered in partnership with Shenyang Aerospace University (SAU), China, you study your foundation years in Kenya and complete your degree in China, graduating as an internationally trained aerospace engineer.
Design and build the future of flight
Aerospace graduates work at the cutting edge — in design, manufacturing, research and advanced maintenance engineering worldwide.
Aerospace / Aeronautical Engineer
Aircraft design, structures, propulsion and systems engineering.
Manufacturing & Research
Aircraft manufacture, testing, R&D and quality engineering.
Advanced Maintenance & Leadership
Senior engineering and technical-management roles in aviation.
