Bachelor of Science (Aviation)

This course is designed to provide a broad professional education and graduate status for those entering the aviation industry. The course includes essential elements required for pilot training up to the level of Air Transport Pilot Licence. It extends beyond licensing requirements and traditional pilot training to prepare graduates for a range of careers within the aviation industry. The Bachelor of Science (Aviation) has been developed in close consultation with the aviation industry. Core theoretical units in aviation are taught by the Faculty of Computing, Health and Science. Practical flying training is carried out in association with ECU authorised flying schools at Jandakot Airport and other  locations. On graduation, students who have completed all the flight training units will hold a Commercial Pilot Licence together with either a Command Instrument Rating in a twin-engine or turbine-powered aircraft, or a Flight Instructor Rating. Students who do not complete the flight training units may instead combine elective and minor subjects to form a strong, coherent knowledge base in the field of their choice. Where available, such a combination may be at the level of a supporting major. This mode of completion is therefore particularly suited to those desiring to work in the aviation industry in other than a flying role.

Alternate Entry Requirements

Entry to the Bachelor of Science (Aviation) degree programme is available to applicants who hold ICAO Commercial or Air Transport Pilot Licences or who are pilots in the military. Such applicants may also expect to receive credits for a number or units in the BSc (Aviation) degree.
