Program Overview The Bachelor of Aviation Technology offers students the opportunity to graduate with a University degree and also a commercial pilot’s licence.Graduates will be qualified as commercial pilots, and would be qualified to undertake a range of other careers in both the aerospace and IT industries.The Bachelor of Aviation Technology program is designed to provide students with a knowledge and understanding of: theories and practices appropriate for the aviation industry; theories and practices appropriate for the information technology industry; the professional ethical, legal, and security issues in both industries. and the skills to: work as commercial pilots in the aviation industry; work in a range of operational and management positions within the aviation, aerospace and information technology industries; communicate effectively with other industry professionals and the wider community; analyse problems critically and design appropriate solutions. Program StructureTo obtain a Bachelor of Aviation Technology, a student must complete a total of 144 points (equivalent to 24 6 units of credit courses) as follows: A. Eleven courses (66 units of credit)) in information technology; B. Five courses (54 units of credit) in aviation theory; and C. Four courses (24 units of credit) in business management.Additionally, students entering the program without Year 11 Physics (or equivalent) will be required to undertake the IntroPhysics bridging course during their first term of study. A. Information Technology – any 11 courses chosen from the following:
B. Aviation Theory – compulsory courses:
Students will complete all requirements for the General Flying Progress Test (GFPT), the Private Pilot Licence (PPLA), and the Commercial Pilot Licence (CLPA), as outlined in the Day VFR Syllabus established by CASA. C. Business Management – select 4 of the following courses:
A maximum of seven courses within categories A and C may be level 1 courses.To qualify with a commercial pilot’s licence, a minimum of 200 hours of practical flight training is required in addition to the theoretical components. The practical flight training is a highly recommended, but optional, component of the course, attracting an additional fee; students undertaking the theory only are eligible for the degree, but not the pilot’s licence. This option is likely to appeal to those students seeking non-flying positions within the aviation industry Recommended Study Schedule A recommended study schedule for this program can be obtained from your program administrator. Students may determine their own schedule based upon credit transfers and personnel study requirements. It is important to note that full-time students usually enrol in four courses per term and part-time students usually enrol in two courses per term per term. Note: Students must check to see when and where a course is offered before enrolling. See the course availability section in this handbook for details.
