Online Aviation Technology Degree :: Accredited Universities

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.

This program is designed primarily to meet the needs of personnel currently involved in the aviation industry who wish to upgrade their skills at tertiary level in the field of management in air transportation. In addition, the program is designed to have considerable application for personnel in related technology-based service and business industries.

The program will provide students with the necessary skills in the field of air transportation management within the aviation industry. It will provide insight into the multiple facets of management and its application in air transportation. The program has been developed in partnership with the aviation industry. One of the unique aspects is that authors and lecturers from a number of fields contribute to this teaching. This provides a range of diverse views, ideas and practical examples and broadens the students' understanding of aviation management.

All aviation units of study are undertaken by distance education. Students are required to have internet access as materials are provided online and all assessment is submitted via the Swinburne intranet (Blackboard). Non-aviation units may use other means of delivery and assessment.

Entry Requirements

To be eligible for consideration for entry, candidates would normally be university graduates with a degree or postgraduate qualification in any of the following disciplines:
Aviation
Engineering
Business
Economics
Management
Law
Marketing
Science
Technology
Psychology
Social Science
or other disciplines assessed to be appropriate.

Entry is also open to the following candidates, provided that they have completed at least two years' operational experience:

Air Traffic Controllers (ATC)
Licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (LAME)
Company managers and supervisors
Military Pilots who have completed a 'Wings Course'
Pilots holding an Airline Transport Pilot's Licence (ATPL)

Candidates who do not fit the exact categories above, but who meet all of the following criteria:

Are currently working in the aviation industry
Have demonstrated academic capacity to deal with the study required
Would benefit from participation in the program

may be eligible for the entry at the graduate certificate level.

Upon completion of the graduate certificate students may enrol in the graduate diploma. Upon completion of the graduate diploma, students may then enrol in the master.

This category also allows applicants with overseas qualifications, for which there is no precise Australian equivalent, to be admitted to the program.

The School of Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology is one of the oldest – and largest – educational programs of its kind in the country. The Institute had been asked to instruct U.S. Army personnel in aviation matters as early as 1917. A stand-alone department was formed in 1930 after receiving the seventh – and last – grant from the Daniel Guggenheim fund. Known then as the Daniel Guggenheim School of Aeronautics, its name was officially changed to the School of Aerospace Engineering on July 1, 1962.

At the masters level, our graduates reach a level of expertise in one or more of the specialties important to advanced aerospace system design, development, manufacture, maintenance, and/or operation that allows industry and/or government employers to assign them responsibilities in those specialties. Those who complete our doctoral programs possess the abilities needed to perform original research that fundamentally advances the state of the art in some important aspect of aerospace engineering.

The School of Aerospace Engineering is very active and productive in aerospace engineering research in all of the essential disciplines listed above, so that the abilities of faculty in the classroom continuously reflect the rapid advances in technologies and methodologies characteristic of the field of aerospace engineering. Sponsors of funded research in the School – contract totals of which are more than $30 million, year after year – include NASA; the U.S. Air Force, Navy, and Army; the FAA; the NSF; and a broad “Who’s Who” of aerospace companies.

Entry Requirements

- Evidence of a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent (prior to matriculation) from a recognized institution

- Graduation in the upper half of your class

- Evidence of preparation in your chosen field sufficient to ensure profitable graduate study

- Satisfactory scores on the GRE
