Course structure

Giving you that something xtra

Curriculum aligned to the CAAS Airworthiness Requirements gives you a head-start on your Aircraft Maintenance Engineer’s Licence.
A strong focus on the design and manufacture of aircraft and its components.
Internships with leading aerospace companies such as SIA Engineering, ST Engineering, Rolls-Royce and Eurocopter.
A Minor in Business Management offers more exciting career and degree opportunities.

About the Diploma

Want to learn how aircraft are designed for flight? Enrol in our Diploma in AerospaceTechnology (AT) and find out!

You will study the major aerospace disciplines ranging from aircraft structures and systems aircraft stability and control. This will equip you with the skills and knowledge to be part of a team that certifies aircraft like the Boeing 777 for flight.

What’s more, you’ll have a great time learning at our Aerospace Hub, which boasts an RSAF Super Skyhawk jet fighter, Bell Helicopter, Cessna plane, a subsonic wind tunnel for aircraft design and testing, a motion flight simulator and an upgraded turbojet engine test facility!

You can then hone your skills and knowledge with a four-month local or overseas internship with leading aerospace companies such as the Eurocopter, Rolls-Royce Singapore, SIA Engineering and ST Engineering.

In addition, you can get more out of our exciting Diploma Plus Programmes (DPP). For example, our DPP in Aviation Fundamentals offers modules which complement the basic flying course that leads to a Private Pilot Licence (PPL) with the Singapore Youth Flying Club. You can also take up our DPP in Aerospace Design to gain relevant skills in aircraft design..

Minor in Business Management
Delivered by Ngee Ann’s School of Business & Accountancy – the most established polytechnic business school – these business modules will equip you with what you need to be an entrepreneur, manager or marketing guru. Paired with your strong foundation in engineering, this optional minor will ensure that you enjoy a far wider range of exciting career and degree opportunities!

Career Prospects

With the growth of the global aerospace industry, the development of new airports and the opening of Singapore’s Seletar Aerospace Park, there is a growing demand for skilled professionals such as Aerospace Technologists.

This diploma, which enjoys recognition from many established aerospace organisations, will give you a step-up when exploring such careers.

What’s more, AT will prepare you for modules in the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) Airworthiness Requirements (SAR 66) examinations so that you can get your licence as an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer much sooner!

Further Studies

As an AT grad, you may be offered advanced standing from both local and overseas universities. They include:

Nanyang Technological University
- Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace, Mechanical or Materials Engineering
National University of Singapore
- Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical, Electrical or Computer Engineering
University of Manchester (UK)
- Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace or Aeronautical Engineering
University of Sheffield (UK )
- Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace or Aeronautical Engineering
University of New South Wales (Australia)
- Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace Engineering
University of Queensland (Australia)
- Bachelor of Engineering in Aerospace Engineering

You can also apply for non-engineering degree courses. The Minor in Business Management will give you a head-start when applying for such courses.

Here are more details on the degree options and advanced standing at the universities - locally and overseas.
