The Bachelor of Aviation Technology is designed for those seeking a career in aviation, aerospace and information technology (IT) and attracts many students seeking positions within the aviation industry. The program will enable you to develop a thorough understanding of both theories and practices in aviation technology and explore the associated ethical, legal and security issues in this field. Throughout the program you will study courses including aviation theory and cover topics such as aerodynamics, aircraft systems, air law, meteorology, navigation, pilot licences and ratings, air service operations, aerodromes, airspace classifi cations, air traffic control and flight service and handling emergencies. You will also develop sound knowledge in mapping techniques, aviation time, charts and publications, navigation computations, pilot navigation and radio navigation, the composition of the atmosphere, heat, temperature, pressure and humidity, atmospheric stability, clouds and precipitation and many other areas. In addition to aviation administration you will study topics such as the aviation engine, turbo and supercharging, propeller systems, hydraulics, electrical and ignition, fuel and carburetion, flight instrumentation, lift and drag, aerial manoeuvres, stability and control, takeoff and landing, as well as flying techniques. The second and third year of the program will build on the foundation of aviation technology and enable you to gain high-level expertise in both IT and business management. You will develop the skills you need to analyse problems critically and design effective solutions. Graduates are employed in non-fl ying positions within the aviation industry at both operational and management levels. You may wish to exit the bachelor degree early and upon successful completion of a number of courses may be eligible to receive a Diploma of Aviation Theory qualification.

By studying a Bachelor of Aviation Technology you are able to work in a range of operational and management positions within the aviation, aerospace and IT industries in roles such as an aviation analyst, flight operations manager, flight scheduler, logistics operations manager and rescue operations manager. With additional flight training, you may also become qualified as a civilian or defence force pilot.
