Course Structure
The Higher International Diploma in Aerospace Engineering (EduQual level 5) is a higher level, fully accredited, 240 credit online qualification in aerospace engineering.
The first 120 credits of this qualification are equivalent to the Level 4 Higher International Certificate in Aerospace Engineering, before progressing onto the more advanced level 5 units. These qualifications are relevant to those looking to enter management positions or continue their learning to degree level.
We specialise in online aerospace engineering courses. Our qualifications in engineering are designed to address an increasing need for high quality professional and technical education pathways at Levels 4 and 5, thereby providing students with a clear line of sight to employment or to progression to a university degree.
Being 240 credits, it is benchmarked to the first two years of a UK university engineering programme. You can gain this qualification anywhere in the world with this flexible distance learning course.
What will I study?
This online aerospace engineering course is tailored for those looking to specialise in aerospace engineering, either for a career, or for further university study.
The course is made up of 240 credits. The first 120 credits follow the syllabus of the Higher International Certificate in Aerospace Engineering (EduQual level 4).
The remaining 120 credits are at level 5, and are split into 4 units. Two of these units are specialist units in aerospace engineering. The third is a core topic in Engineering Management.
The fourth unit is worth 60 credits, and is a substantial engineering project on an aerospace engineering topic of your choice.
Find out more about the units you will study below:
Level 4
Core Units
Engineering Design and Ethics – to help you to develop your engineering design skills.
Engineering Maths – so that you develop your mathematical skills that you will need to succeed with the rest of your course.
Engineering Science – to give you a grounding in the science that underpins the engineering that you will study.
Specialist Units
Aerospace Structures – where you will study engineering principles for the design, development and analysis of aerospace structures and systems.
Flight Mechanics – This unit is concerned with the forces that act on aircraft and the prediction of their performance. This unit begins by introducing you to the nomenclature used for aircraft and then progresses to explore the physics of aircraft flight both from a quantitative and qualitative perspective.
+1 Optional Unit – You will have access to a range of optional units, so that you can study topics that interest you. These may even lie outside the field of aerospace engineering such as electrical, mechanical, or manufacturing engineering.
Level 5
Core Units
Research Skills and Project Management [60 credits] – This is a significant engineering project that you will undertake. We will firstly give you the tools and knowledge on how projects are managed. You will then deliver a project brief, and progress to lead a complex, independent, and engineering related research project. In doing this, you will develop your ability to apply critical thinking skills to analyse engineering scenarios.
Engineering Management for Professionals – here you will learn the important tools and responsibilities of being in a management position within the engineering industry. You will learn skills such as Project Management and cost and risk analysis, But also the wider social and economic impacts of engineering companies.
Specialist Units
Aircraft Design and Manufacture – You will examine the overall design process before you will undertake a design exercise to explore the variety of aircraft configurations. You will be guided through a simulated design process which will involve you selecting and calculating various design parameters to satisfy a given design brief.
Aerodynamics, Propulsion, and Space – Deep dive the principles of incompressible flow, drag, before moving onto the workings of gas turbine engines, and finally looking at high speed flows including transonic, supersonic and space flight.
To be awarded a Higher International Diploma in Aerospace Engineering (EduQual Level 5), you must successfully complete the above 240 credits.
Is it fully accredited?
Yes. All our courses are fully accredited by a UK awarding body, EduQual.
EduQual is a regulated awarding body, approved by SQA-Accreditation, and a globally-recognised national qualifications regulator in the UK. They are a full member of the Federation of Awarding Bodies (FAB).
Are there any entry requirements?
As this qualification starts with the level 4 Higher International Certificate, there are no formal entry requirements. We will teach you the required maths and science skills necessary to be successful on the rest of the qualification.
All our courses are delivered in English language, so you must be competent in learning technical information in English.
How long will it take to complete?
Typically, most learners take between 2 and 4 years when studying on a part time basis.
However, as these are distance learning engineering courses, you are in control of your own learning schedule and so you have the freedom to complete the course in your own timescale. Therefore our online engineering courses can be completed more quickly depending on your existing commitments and/or your existing knowledge.
How am I assessed?
All of our units are assessed by 100% written assignments. There are no exams to sit.

“I successfully graduated my Higher International Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. The studies was good, tutor provide much support. I recommend iLearn Engineering for distance learning Engineering studies.”
Fuad, Higher International Certificate in Electrical and Electronic Engineering“So far, in two weeks study I have understood more content with these guys than in one year at part time university. Really good content especially in maths and makes learning a nice smooth progressive path rather than being rushed and pressured. Top notch service 👍”
Simon, Higher International Certificate in Mechanical Engineering“This program is providing me with the opportunity to finally finish my engineering degree at the most reasonable cost I’ve seen in the market to date…I highly recommend iLearn Engineering for anyone who wants to get into the field or pickup where they left off.”
