CL09 - Bachelor of Aviation

Overview

Compulsory Residential School

Some units in this course require you to attend a compulsory Residential School or Work Integrated Learning. Please see Course Features in the Getting Started tab for further information.

Course Overview

The Bachelor of Aviation course will prepare you for a range of careers in the aviation industry including as an Airline Transport pilot and an aviation management professional. In the first year of the course, you will learn the fundamentals of the aviation industry including safety, human factors, relevant national and international laws, airline and airport operations, flight fundamentals and the basics of piloting an aircraft in a simulated environment. You will also lay the foundation to gain crucial lifelong learning and transferable skills, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, communication and teamwork.

In the Airline and Airport Operations major, you will study the core theoretical foundations of aviation operational management including aviation marketing, finance analysis, air freight transportation, resource management and planning and operation.  In this major, you will develop skills in critical thinking, decision making, problem solving and teamwork in the context of airline and airport operation. You will also develop an understanding of the relationship between human physiology/psychology and the aviation environment by focusing on the function and limitations of the human body. You will be introduced to the application of safety processes and how they are applied within the aviation industry and the laws that are relevant to airline and airport operations. Throughout the course, you will learn to apply your knowledge of aviation management combined with advanced critical thinking skills to solve a range of authentic aviation problems.

The Flight Operations major will prepare you for a career as a professional airline pilot capable of managing a multi-crew environment. In this major, you will study the academic and aeronautical knowledge requirements of the Air Transport Pilot License and Command Instrument Rating. You will build knowledge and skills relating to aerodynamics, navigation, meteorology and flight planning, as well as being introduced to the laws that are relevant to aviation, multi-crew environments and the development and maintenance of a safety management system. Throughout the course, you will learn to apply your aviation knowledge and advanced critical thinking skills to resolve complex airline transport operation scenarios.

If you wish to become a commercial pilot you will need to complete the Graduate Diploma of Aviation (Flight Operations) in addition to the Bachelor of Aviation (Flight Operations). After successful completion of the first term of study, in your second term, you will attend an interview to ascertain your preparedness for a career as a pilot. Once you have successfully completed the interview, you will be requested to apply for the Graduate Diploma of Aviation (Flight Operations) course.

Career Information

The Bachelor of Aviation (Flight Operations) prepares you for aviation careers in the air transportation industry as a professional airline pilot. When you graduate with the Bachelor of Aviation (Flight Operations) you will meet the aeronautical knowledge requirements for a career as a professional airline pilot in the air transportation industry. When studied in conjunction with CQUniversity’s CM54 Graduate Diploma of Aviation you would be qualified to work as a professional pilot and have access to aviation careers in the air transportation industry, or a cadetship/ traineeship offered by some airlines. You may also be eligible to apply for the Australian Defence Force which recruits potential pilots for all services. With additional flight training you can explore opportunities in general aviation such as; flight instructing, tourism operations and agricultural operations such as mustering and crop spraying.

Aviation management is a broad and dynamic field and there is unlimited amounts of aviation business administration jobs that are necessary to keep air travel moving safely. This major provides a broad range of skills, both technical and managerial, that will prepare you to become an aviation professional who understands the theory behind airline and airport operations and can apply these principles to a practical work environment for long-term careers in airline and airport management. Aviation professional jobs require critical thinking and clear communication skills. You are going to be working with people not only your company but again cross company lines or across industry lines or with regulatory people to maintain the safest travel industry in the world. Graduates complete a degree in aviation management receive a diverse training in skills that are necessary for an airline or airport management career and are hired by airlines and related organizations such as airports, government agencies, tourism authorities, freight forwarders, airport ground handling companies, consulting firms, IT firms and air safety authorities.
