For all students:

A student must pass all the Civil Aviation Authority Ground Training examinations of AER303 in order to continue as a student for the award of the Degree of BEng in Aerospace Engineering (Private Pilot Instruction). A student who fails to satisfy this requirement may be permitted by the Faculty to become instead a student for the Degree of BEng in Aerospace Engineering (AERU11).

For all students:

A student who is unable to take AER303 will be required to become instead a student for BEng Aerospace Engineering (AERU11).

For students commencing Year 1 of a programme of study in or after September 2022:

A student who has been awarded credit in compensation of failed units in Years 2 and 3 will be permitted an additional resit attempt in the compensated credits. An additional resit attempt can only be granted where the student has met the requirements for progression (or completion) under the General Regulations for First Degrees.

A student who has been awarded credit in compensation of failed units in Years 2 and 3, where the grade achieved is more than 10% below the pass grade in those failed units, may not be recommended for a degree award that is accredited under Engineering Council rules.

A student who has been awarded more than 30 credits in compensation of failed units across Years 1, 2 and 3, may not be recommended for a degree award that is accredited under Engineering Council rules.

A student who failed to pass one or more of the modules from the list below may not be recommended for a degree award that is accredited under Engineering Council rules: AER201, AER21003.

Where a student has met the requirements for the award of a degree under the General Regulations for First Degrees but not the requirements for the award of a degree accredited under Engineering Council rules, they may be recommended for the award of BEng Aerospace Technology (AERU17)
