Mark Underwood

BSc in Aircraft Maintenance Engineering

"You will leave here with a lot more than a degree. As well as all the core degree modules, you also complete some of the CAA modules towards your B1 Aircraft Maintenance Engineer's license, which you have to complete to be able to work as a mechanic. The Aviation Academy's strong links with employers is definitely a big benefit as well. I applied for lots of positions outside of those links, and I got hardly any responses, then BA came and did their annual visit, and invited me to interview, and then offered me a Junior Mechanic position, which I’ll be starting in the summer. !"

Curriculum Leader - Aviation

"In my six years at Newcastle College, I have seen many students go on to achieve great things. I love using the experiences I have had working in the Royal Air Force to inspire the next generation of aircraft engineers."
