Location of Cranfield University
This part-time course provides an academically recognised high standard of qualification in airworthiness, a fundamental part of aviation safety. It offers flexibility and choice, providing a thorough understanding of airworthiness related to the wide spectrum of technologies met in aerospace. Through a series of highly focused five-day modules addressing the key aspects of design, construction and maintenance of aircraft, the course takes a pragmatic and wide-ranging approach to aviation safety.
Cranfield University staff combine with experienced regulators and industrial experts to explain the safety aspects of current airworthiness regulations in relation to the background technology.
Excellent career opportunities
Cranfield University has been providing postgraduate education in air transport management for over 40 years. You can be sure that your qualification will be valued and respected by employers throughout the world.
Focus on your interests
The part-time programme is especially relevant to technical staff working in the airworthiness field of aviation safety, in any part of the industry - design, production, component supply, operation, maintenance, modification, repair or regulation. The subject of your research project can be chosen to match the research needs of your employer and/or your own career ambitions.
Gain a wide spectrum of technical knowledge
The course provides a wide spectrum of technical knowledge in the context of the related regulatory and safety issues – a background that managers in today’s aerospace industry must possess. A detailed knowledge of airworthiness issues early in the development stage of a product’s design, modification, repair or process helps the downstream business operation and enables a better balance to be struck between cost and safety.
Benefit from our expertise
Cranfield will bring its considerable experience in aerospace technology to meet the training and education requirements for industrially-based personnel. These combine with experienced regulators and industrial experts to enhance and explain the safety aspects of current airworthiness regulations in relation to the background technology.
Contents
The programme provides the student with a fundamental understanding of the airworthiness issues over a wide spectrum of aerospace technologies met in design, manufacture, operations and maintenance. A list of course modules is shown below.
Interwoven throughout the course, the airworthiness concepts of certification, compliance, demonstration, substantiation and validation will be explained in the context of the technology under consideration.
The role and purpose of organisation approval and licensing in aviation safety will be examined along with the procedures involved.
Modules can be taken singly as stand-alone short courses, or as a programme of study leading to Postgraduate Certificate, Diploma or full MSc level in subject areas as shown. Both the Postgraduate Diploma and MSc require each student to complete 10 modules and a Course Dossier/Portfolio. For MSc level, a research project must also be carried out.
