With over 20 years of experience, we specialise in preparing you for a dynamic career in aviation. In just three years, you will earn a full honours degree while completing your flight training and the exams required for your Private Pilot Licence (PPL) 

Led by seasoned lecturers who were former airline pilots with major airlines, you will benefit from real-world insights and professional connections. We equip you with the skills and knowledge to succeed in your aviation career.

On the management side of this degree, you’ll learn how airlines and airports operate, covering topics like airline operations, airport management, aviation safety, and security. You’ll also study aviation law and regulations, along with the economics of the industry, gaining insight into the financial and legal challenges faced by airlines.

For the pilot training, with one of our external training partners you'll work towards your private pilot license during your first year. This involves learning flight theory—covering aerodynamics, navigation, and flight planning—alongside hands-on flight training with approved providers. You’ll also practice using advanced flight simulators to handle complex procedures and emergencies. 

Throughout the course, you’ll develop key skills like leadership, decision-making, communication, and problem-solving, which are essential for both piloting and management roles. By graduation, you’ll be ready for your career in aviation management, with potential options in roles across the industry.
