Bachelor of Aviation Management / Bachelor of Business

The Bachelor of Aviation Management / Bachelor of Business is designed for those seeking to play a key role in bringing changes to the aviation industry. Students gain insight into how airlines and airports operate to prepare them for management roles in the aviation industry in Australia or overseas. The course is also designed to teach students how to become innovative by integrating creative thinking and behaviours that equip them to lead and succeed.

Students gain a sound professional understanding of the aviation industry and its associated environment, and skills in organisational, regulatory, safety, technical and business management. In the course, students learn how aircraft are designed, operated and maintained; why aircraft follow certain routes, and how airlines and airports collaborate with supply chain partners to get passengers to their destination safely and profitably.

Students also acquire innovative and socially responsible business skills and practices so that they can lead, develop and change – skills and knowledge that can be applied to the aviation industry, anywhere in the world.

This course has been developed with input from industry professionals and focuses on trends shaping the aviation industry today.
