Program Description
If you are a prospective student researching your study options, please visit UNSW Business School website for more information.
The Bachelor of Commerce and Bachelor of Aviation (Management) are complementary programs, with Aviation providing a specific industry context in which to position broader skills developed within the Commerce degree. Graduates of the dual degree will be ideal candidates for the highly competitive graduate intake programs of Qantas and Virgin Australia airlines.
It is assumed that students have a certain level of knowledge in advanced mathematics in order to cope well with the mathematical or statistical component of a business degree. If you are successful in obtaining a place without this assumed knowledge, you are strongly encouraged to consider studying a Mathematics Bridging Course before starting your degree.

Stages of courses are identified by the first number in the course code, ie AVIA1321 is a stage 1 course.

- Students completing a major in Management or Human Resource Management as part of their Bachelor of Commerce program cannot take MGMT2721 as an elective in the Aviation (Management) program. These students will need to choose an alternative Aviation stage 2 elective.
- As there is greater flexibility in core course offerings by the UNSW Business School, students should consider prioritising their core Aviation (Management) courses when planning their enrolment each semester.
