Our facilities
Our aircraft engineering students have access to our fully-equipped Aero Lab. This provides them with the tools and a real world hands-on experience to gain strong career prospects for the future.
This lab has been specially designed to allow students to gain experience in diagnostics, inspection, condition monitoring, component and equipment replacement and rectification, key skills for any aircraft engineer.
Our flight simulator is equipped with visual display, instrumentation, pilot controls, motion base and instruction station.
Future Skills
Knowledge to give you the edge
Embedded within every course curriculum and throughout the whole Kingston experience, Future Skills will play a role in shaping you to become a future-proof graduate, providing you with the skills most valued by employers such as problem-solving, digital competency, and adaptability.
As you progress through your degree, you'll learn to navigate, explore and apply these graduate skills, learning to demonstrate and articulate to employers how future skills give you the edge.
