Another young achiever reaching the skies from the Asian Aviation Centre
View(s):I joined the Asian Aviation Centre Pvt (Ltd) in the year 2004 and enrolled with Kingston University London, to acquire a BSc (Hons) in Aerospace Engineering. The two years I spent at AAC was very useful and it gave me a strong foundation for my degree. It was also an

economical way to join the Kingston University. I was given sufficient help from AAC towards my final year in Kingston. Kingston is a welcoming university for foreign students. I successfully graduated with a first class and was batch top in the year 2007 at Kingston.
After three wonderful and successful years of studies in the field of Aerospace Engineering, my one year’s job placement was at General Electric United Kingdom. I received abundant support from my University in order to get into this job. The career consultants at Kingston were very helpful in improving my CV and interview skills which were essential for my success at GE. At the end of my year in the placement, I had improved both my skills and knowledge of the industry that I had several job opportunities in hand. However I decided to join Rolls Royce as an Aero Engine Manufacturing Engineer. This was a significant acceleration in my career as I managed to skip the two year graduate programme at Rolls Royce as well. Currently, I lead a small team of Manufacturing Engineers in my new position as the Manufacturing Systems Lead for United Kingdom Discs Plants. As part of my continuous professional development Rolls Royce sponsors my Masters Degree from the University of Bristol.
It was my absolute dream to master in the field of Aerospace .I dreamt of it since childhood and I am indeed grateful to AAC for introducing me to the Kingston University and paving the way for such opportunity in my life. Whilst sincerely thanking all my Lecturers and staff at both AAC and Kingston for this tremendous journey they have taken my life through, I recommend all my fellow Sri Lankan brothers and sisters to take the path of Aerospace Engineering as it certainly can bring you a career and experience that is certainly life changing. Following your childhood dreams, is doing justice to yourself!
