What is Diploma in Aerospace Engineering about?

Fascinated by planes, drones and aviation technology? Take your passion further with NP’s Diploma in Aerospace Engineering (AEG). Beyond aircraft engineering, AEG prepares you to become a future mobility engineer – ready to shape how people and goods move by air and beyond. Build a strong foundation in aircraft systems, aerial system design, data communications, networking and data analytics – then expand your options with future-ready capabilities in AI, Space Technology and more. Learn how these technologies monitor aircraft health, predict maintenance needs and enable smarter, greener mobility. Whether you pursue aerospace or an emerging engineering field, AEG keeps more pathways open.

What is unique about NP’s AEG?

You can shape your diploma around your strengths and ambitions – from diploma specialisations to cross-disciplinary options:

Diploma Specialisations:

• Avionics
  Explore aircraft navigation, surveillance, data communication and networking systems.
  
  
• Mechanical
  Build expertise in aircraft structures, design, thermofluids and maintenance.

Cross-disciplinary Specialisations:

• Operational Technology Cybersecurity
  Identify vulnerabilities and defend the operational technology systems that control industrial equipment and processes.
  
  
• Space Technology
  Explore satellite design and systems engineering for aerospace and smart infrastructure applications.
  
  
• Physical AI
  Gain skills in AI, robotics and intelligent automation to develop intelligent physical systems for real-world applications.

Passionate about flying?

You can apply for the Singapore Youth Flying Club Private Pilot Licence Course as your internship – an exceptional opportunity to take your aviation ambition into the cockpit.

How about real-world industry experience?

Put engineering into action through industry projects and modules co-developed with industry partners. Tackle real-world challenges and take an unmanned aerial vehicle from design to build. In your final year, choose a six-month local or overseas internship with companies such as Collins Aerospace, Pratt & Whitney, ST Engineering and Thales Solutions Asia – or go deeper with one-year Industry Immersion Pathway.

Can you get a head start on university?

Yes! Through our university pathways with NUS, NTU and SIT, selected students can take university-level modules while studying at NP. These modules may count towards your degree, helping you fast-track your university studies.

Further Studies

As an AEG graduate, you will be able to pursue an aerospace-related degree at Singapore Institute of Technology (SIT) and Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), or overseas universities in Australia, New Zealand, USA and the UK.

Or you can choose to pursue related engineering degrees with advanced standing at prestigious local universities like National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), and Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).

Careers

With Singapore as a leading aerospace MRO provider in Asia, demand for trained professionals is high. AEG is recognised by established aerospace organisations, giving you an edge in the Aircraft Maintenance & Repair, Engineering & Technical Services and Planning & Operations sectors.

AEG also prepares you for Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) Airworthiness Requirements (SAR 66) exams, giving you a head start towards becoming a licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineer. With your future-ready skills, you can also explore careers beyond the aerospace sector.
