K99 Bachelor of Aviation

The Bachelor of Aviation is a three year full-time (or part-time equivalent) course, which provides a focussed professional education and graduate status for those seeking to enter the aviation industry, especially those wishing to become pilots.

 

The course prepares graduates for a range of careers within the aviation industry.  It includes a strong engineering focus across a range of areas to prepare graduates to enter technically oriented sections of the industry.  The Bachelor of Aviation provides a sound basis for a career in aviation administration, aviation management, or as a pilot.

 

Students wishing to become pilots are required to also enrol (concurrently) in the GradDip(Flying) where flying training to the level of a Commercial Pilot License is provided.  Both the BAviation and GradDip(Flying) can be completed over 9 semesters of study (including summer semesters). Students who intend to undertake flying training under the FEE-HELP scheme will enroll in this course and the GradDip(Flying) concurrently.
