Our Honours Bachelor of Aviation Technology program provides a rigorous aviation technology-based curriculum and the application of this theory to aviation. The breadth of knowledge and skills prepares you to operate safely in a complex aircraft, to understand the technologies and human factors that affect the successful operation of an aircraft and to assume the professional responsibility associated with being a commercial pilot.
You’ll also learn business management, airport operations and planning, and air carrier administration to gain a “larger sense” of the aviation industry and ultimately access a greater variety of careers in the industry.
