Honours
Graduate Diploma in Flying (5536)
To gain entry to this program, students must:
- Have completed a Bachelor of Aviation (Management) undergraduate degree at UNSW or equivalent, or
- Have satisfactorily completed the equivalent of 1 year FTE of the Bachelor of Aviation (Management) at UNSW or equivalent, and
- Hold an Australian Class 1 Aviation Medical Certificate, and
- Be an Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident, and
- Attend an interview with Head, School of Aviation or nominee to ascertain suitability with regards to motivation and background.
Note: Students taking the Aviation (Management) program as a dual award with a Bachelor of Commerce (i.e. enrolled in 3835) cannot enrol in 5536 Graduate Diploma (Flying) concurrently with their undergraduate studies due to timetabling constraints. Dual award students interested in pursuing flight training through the Graduate Diploma are advised to complete their undergraduate studies before applying for 5536 Graduate Diploma in Flying, or transfer to the single award 3981 Aviation (Management) and apply for 5536 Graduate Diploma in Flying.
Dual Awards
- ECON1203 and MATH1041 are excluded courses and core courses in both programs. Students must take ECON1203 for their Commerce program and this will be counted towards satisfying the requirements to take MATH1041 in the Aviation program;
- MGMT2721 is an elective in the Aviation (Management) program and an elective in the Commerce program. Where students choose to take this course in either program it may also be used towards meeting the elective requirements of the other program. However, students completing a Management or Human Resource Management major in the Bachelor of Commerce are excluded from taking MGMT2721 and therefore cannot take MGMT2721 as an elective in the Aviation (Management) program. These students will need to choose an alternative course to meet the stage 2 elective requirements in the Aviation (Management) program.
- Where the requirements for the two programs are completed in less than 192 units of credit due to overlapping courses, students may satisfy the remaining units of credit from those offered by the Australian School of Business or the courses listed as electives for the Bachelor of Aviation (Management).
