As a Degree Apprentice, you’ll:
- Rotate through specialist teams across Airframe, Design & Stress, Systems Integration, Quality, Support Engineering, and Advanced Manufacturing
- Be involved in the full lifecycle of aerospace systems and products – from design and development, to testing, qualification, and in-service support
- Learn how to read and interpret engineering drawings, reports, and computer-generated models
- Collaborate with engineers from across multiple disciplines.
- Develop problem-solving skills to design, test, validate, and improve engineering solutions
- Spend your first year at Weston College working towards your Level 2 qualification, before moving on site in Bristol from Year 2, where you’ll progress through your Level 4 and Level 6 qualifications
- Contribute to STEM outreach and community projects — because engineering isn’t just about technology, it’s about people too
You’ll gain knowledge and skills in:
- Aerospace systems, aeronautical sciences, and material sciences
- Engineering processes and practices (mechanical, electrical, electronic systems)
- Analytical methods and engineering mathematics
- Regulatory, environmental, and quality standards
- Real-world engineering skills such as planning, testing, inspection, production, and lifecycle management
- The importance of sustainability, safety, and teamwork in real projects
