This is a broad-based programme offering a wide range of activities to build well‑rounded engineers with well‑developed interpersonal and team‑working skills. Delivered onsite at UWE 2 to 3 days per week and once per week in years 2‑4, the programme consists of…
You will work within multiple engineering disciplines for the design and manufacture of aircraft propellers. Participants will graduate with a Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) in Aerospace Engineering from UWE, University of the West of England. Whilst you work in collaboration with team members, we will develop and support you from day one.
Program Details
* Enrolment in the BEng Hons Aerospace Engineering degree at the University of The West of England (Bristol)
* A series of work placements within our engineering teams to gain skills and experience working on front line projects. These typically cover mechanical design, composites design, mechanical analysis, stress analysis, aero‑acoustics, controls, electronics and systems engineering and manufacturing engineering. Please ensure you have achieved or are predicted these grades or above as these are the minimum requirements to join this apprenticeship. Failure to meet these grades could mean you are not eligible to join the programme.
* Minimum of 112 UCAS points via:
* 3 A-Levels at grade BBC or above (including Mathematics and another STEM-based subject e.g., Physics/Electronics/Computing or similar)
* BTEC Extended Diploma in Engineering at grade DMM or above
* Equivalent qualification with appropriate Mathematics content
* Grade C/4 or above in English and Mathematics, or equivalent (we accept Functional Skills Level 2 in English and Maths)
* Understanding of our business and products, with an enthusiasm for the broader aerospace industry
* A commitment to personal development and community volunteering

Dowty Propellers, part of GE Aerospace Systems based in Gloucestershire, is a leading supplier of advanced technology, composite‑bladed propeller systems for a wide range of regional turboprop and military transport aircraft. As a world‑leading manufacturer of integrated propeller systems, Dowty Propellers provides solutions for the propulsion systems of today and tomorrow. Key programs include the Lockheed Martin C‑130J, the De‑Haviland, Dash 8‑400 and the Leonardo C‑27J. Our products are used in applications that range from regional airliners and military airlifters to marine hovercraft. Operated by a highly skilled workforce, Dowty Propellers' in‑house production expertise for composite blades includes application of resin transfer moulding processes, which have been continuously evolved and perfected since 1976; and the use of braiding machines that rapidly and accurately apply the blades' fibre outer layers.
Typically, a four‑year programme, the Aerospace Engineering Degree Apprenticeship is an alternative to full‑time university, allowing you to study for an Aerospace Engineering Degree part‑time at the University of The West of England (Bristol) while gaining industrial experience working directly at Dowty Propellers on a variety of aviation projects. The BEng Hons degree structured programme aims at gaining a variety of competencies for a successful career in engineering. Supplemented by a variety of other development opportunities within the broader GE family, we believe this programme provides an excellent gateway into the wider world of advanced aerospace engineering.
Enrichment Activities
* Numerous opportunities to participate in enrichment activities, local school engagement, the GE apprentice network and various external events such as the Cheltenham Science Festival, Imagineering, Go4SET, GirlsGetSET and the K'Nex Challenge
