Aeronautical Engineering (English Stream)
The programme has a study load of approximately forty hours a week. Some components take more time than others and this will vary individually. Your schedule will comprise:
 classes
training lessons
practical assignments
projects
homework
preparation and write-up of class work
In the first year, approximately twenty hours will be scheduled for classes, which means you will be expected to do a lot of independent study as well.
The first two years of your studies will be dominated by the Aeronautical Engineering programme, which falls within the major Technical Engineering. In the first year, you will learn to work on projects, developing your technical skills in various areas within the aeronautical field, such as:
design
measurement engineering
mechanics
production technology
In the second year, you will undertake the tests and selection processes for your pilot training. It is not until after the tests at the end of the second year, that you will decide whether or not you want to become an airline transport pilot and to take the relevant training. You will also spend the second year developing all the skills that make an aeronautical engineer so special. Moreover, you will study subjects such as aerodynamics, aircraft structures and aircraft systems maintenance.
In the third year, you will begin pilot training after a third-year work placement lasting three months. You will be taught theory at the Dutch National Aviation School (NLS) in Hoofddorp. You will also take the corresponding examinations. The final year of your studies will be dedicated to the practical component of pilot training and the conclusion of your programme. You will be given flying lessons at the NLS location in Portugal. You will also complete the Aeronautical Engineering programme. At the end of the programme, you will therefore be able to call yourself both an airline transport pilot and an aeronautical engineer!
