Bachelor of Aviation majoring in Management

Embark on an exhilarating journey to become a pilot. This comprehensive pathway is designed for aspiring pilots who seek to thrive in various aviation settings. Your education will be a blend of theoretical studies, hands-on flight training, and rigorous exams to earn the necessary professional qualifications.

Our Bachelor of Aviation majoring in Pilot will give you the technical knowledge, practical experience and critical thinking required to become a diligent and successful pilot.

What you'll learn

The Bachelor of Aviation majoring in Pilot is the perfect pathway for those looking to become a pilot. You'll engage in intensive study, combining theoretical practice and flight training - both physical and simulated.

In your first year, which is shared with the Bachelor of Aviation majoring in Management, you'll be introduced to flight operations, management and safety. You'll learn about aviation law and its applications in Australia and abroad. You'll explore the relationship between human physiology, psychology, and the aviation environment, recognising the limitations of the human body.

You'll study tailored subjects in areas such as:

• Aviation management

• Aviation law

• Human performance in aviation

• Flight training theory

• Commercial pilot theory

• Navigation and aircraft systems theory

• Advanced pilot theory

• Aviation physics

• Airline operations management.

In your second year, you'll have the opportunity to choose from three pilot pathways which include obtaining, in addition to your degree, either the Graduate Diploma in Aviation, which will provide you with three professional qualifications: the Commercial Pilot Licence (CPL), Command Instrument Rating (CIR) and Multi-Engine (M/E) aeroplane class rating or a CPL only. The last pathway, which is the degree only option, will give you the choice to secure employment with an airline, where you could go on to participate in a cadetship. The first pathway is also a launchpad into gaining a Private Pilot Licence (PPL). However, this will come at an additional cost and is also subject to required flying hours, competencies and theories being met.

The three flying pathways to choose from are:

• Bachelor + Graduate Diploma

• Bachelor + CPL

• Bachelor ONLY.

In your final year, you will address a real-world aviation-related problem. Collaborating with your peers, you'll apply your theoretical and technical expertise to develop a logical solution and produce a comprehensive report.

We'll also help you enhance your employability outcomes by developing essential interpersonal, cultural literacy and interprofessional collaboration skills in a global context.
