Bachelor of Science (Aviation) - Flying Stream

The Bachelor of Science (Aviation) – flying stream is designed to provide a broad professional education and graduate status for pilots.  The course includes essential theoretical, and practical elements required for those choosing pilot training. It extends beyond licensing requirements and traditional pilot training to assist graduates to prepare for a range of flying.
The Bachelor of Science (Aviation) has been developed in close consultation with the aviation industry. Core theoretical units in aviation are taught by the Faculty of Computing, Health and Science. Practical flying is carried out in the university aircraft in association with authorised flying schools.  For further details see here.

On graduation, students who have completed the total practical flight component of the course will have a Commercial Pilot Licence together with a Command Instrument Rating on twin-engined aircraft and a Flight Instructor Rating. In addition, they will have completed the theoretical component of an Air Transport Pilot Licence.
The three year Bachelor of Science (Aviation) is offered through the School of Engineering on Joondalup campus. Flight training units are undertaken at Jandakot Airport.

Fees

Fees apply to all units in this degree except for the three flight training units.  However, any costs of flying training must be borne by the student.  Although these costs cannot be precisely determined, it should be anticipated that they would be in the order of $40,000 if three Flight Training units were completed.

The cost of flying lessons in SCA1111 and SCA2211 are paid on completion of each lesson.  For SCA3211 or SCA3311 the cost for the complete unit is paid as a lump sum before training in the particular unit commences.

Course Structure

The Bachelor of Science (Aviation) consists of 360 credit points (24 units) and is divided into the following three areas taken over three years of full-time study:
