Bachelor of Technology (Aviation)

The Bachelor of Technology (Aviation) covers technical and operational aspects of aircraft safety and management.

The first year is a common program of foundation science and engineering courses with other first-year Technology and Engineering students. In the second and third years, the focus is on human factors in the aviation discipline. You will develop an understanding of the function of pilots, air combat officers, maritime aviation warfare officers and joint battlefield airspace controllers and their role in aviation, infrastructure and safety management systems. You will also develop a sound knowledge of the safety practices that underpin aviation. Courses in aerodynamics and aviation systems incorporate problem-based learning informed by academic research and industrial practice. Electives and a final-semester project enable you to pursue your interests both within and outside the Technology (Aviation) discipline.
