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.
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:
MSc Aerospace Vehicle Design (Airframe and Airframe Systems Option).
MSc Aerospace Vehicle Design (Avionics Systems Design Option).
MSc Thermal Power (Aerospace Propulsion Option)

Application Procedure
For a successful application, direct
entry candidates are expected to complete two basic steps below:
Payment via e-Bills Pay.
On-line Registration
Candidates should visit any branch
of commercial banks, request for Air Force Institute of Technology on e-Bills
Pay and specify the appropriate programme (Pre-HND, HND or PGD) to make
payment. Pre-HND and HND/PGD candidates are to pay N4, 000.00 and N5, 000.00
respectively with the required bank charges. After payment, the bank teller
will give a printout of the Session ID, which would be required to proceed with
the online registration.
Having been assigned a Session ID by
the bank, candidates should visit AFIT website (http://www.afit.edu.ng)
and click on the ‘Direct Entry Registration’ link. Insert the Session ID
obtained from the bank, email, phone number, upload your passport and select
the course applicable to you (Pre-HND, HND or PGD), click submit. After the
display of “record inserted correctly” message, click the “resume registration”
button to continue the application.
On the registration form, candidates
should fill in their bio-data and other relevant information (post-secondary
information, employment history) as required on the page and continue. (Note:
