Applications are invited from suitably qualified candidates for preliminary and direct entry admissions into the following programmes in the 2019/2020 Academic Session:

  1. MSc Aerospace Vehicle Design (Airframe and Airframe Systems Option).
  2. MSc Aerospace Vehicle Design (Avionics Systems Design Option).

Available Programmes.

Pre-Higher National Diploma (Pre-HND) Programmes:

  • Aircraft Engineering Technology (Airframe/Power Plant Option).
  • Aircraft Engineering Technology (Avionics Option).
  • Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology.
  • Purchasing and Supply.

Higher National Diploma (HND) Programmes.

  • Aircraft Engineering Technology (Airframe/Power Plant Option).
  • Aircraft Engineering Technology (Avionics Option).
  • Electronics/Telecommunications Engineering Technology.

  • Aerospace Engineering (Avionics Option).
  • Supply Chain Management.

3.) The Pre-HND in Aircraft Engineering Technology Programme is a one-year orientation course specifically designed for candidates with ND in engineering fields other than aircraft engineering. The programme is meant to introduce students to aircraft engineering and also provide a good foundation for such students to further their studies in aviation-related programmes. Similarly, other Pre-HND programmes are aimed at appropriate re-orientation as the case may be

4.) The PGD in Aerospace Engineering at AFIT is a one-year programme that is specially designed to prepare candidates for one-year MSc programme in aerospace engineering at Cranfield University, United Kingdom (UK). Candidates, who on completion of the PGD programme, wish to enrol for the Masters Programme at Cranfield University, UK can choose to specialize in one of the following fields:

  • a. MSc Aerospace Vehicle Design (Airframe and Airframe Systems Option).
  • b. MSc Aerospace Vehicle Design (Avionics Systems Design Option).
  • c. MSc Thermal Power.
  • d. MSc Computational Fluid Dynamics.
  • e. MSc Flight Dynamics

Post Graduate Diploma (PGD) Programmes in Aerospace Engineering.

A minimum grade of second class honours in engineering, material sciences or physics

Post Graduate Diploma (PGD) Programme in Supply Chain Management.  

A minimum grade of second class honours in Purchasing & Supply and other related fields.

Method of Application.

For a successful application, direct entry candidates are expected to complete two basic steps below:

  1. Payment to e-Bills Pay.
  2. On-line Registration.

Candidates should visit any branch of commercial banks, ask for Air Force Institute of Technology on e-Bills Pay platform and specify the appropriate programme (Pre-HNDHND or PGD) to make payment.
