Are you ready to work across operational, management and planning roles in the dynamic and vibrant aviation industry?

With RMIT, you'll gain a broad awareness of the aviation industry and a range of analytical skills, giving you a comprehensive appreciation of the aviation operating environment. You'll develop breadth and depth of thinking, and the ability to solve problems relevant to the aviation industry.

The degree contains two specialised streams:

The Aviation Operations and Management stream focuses on developing a breadth of skills and knowledge across the aviation industry. This includes operational and management aspects of airlines and airports, ground handling and safety.

The Piloting stream is where you'll gain the skills to become a commercial pilot, while also learning about the aviation industry. Flight training can be taken in conjunction with RMIT Flight Training at Point Cook or with any other government-approved provider.

You’ll also be able to tailor the degree to suit your interests and desired career path, through many general, business and aviation electives.
