About this Program
The first degree of its kind in Queensland, this program provides you with the skills and knowledge required for the first five years of employment as a commercial pilot. It will also provide you with the core skills needed for lifelong learning in the rapidly changing aviation environment. The first year must be undertaken at the Nathan campus. Second and third years may be completed at the Nathan campus or via the Web.
Attendance
The first year of the Bachelor of Aviation is offered full time on campus at the Nathan Campus.
As a full time student you will generally attend 15 - 20 hours of scheduled classes per week throughout the semester. Classes may be scheduled during the day and evening throughout the week. Students may take a reduced study load. You will be classed as a part time student if you enrol in less than 30 credit points per semester. This may affect entitlement to Centrelink benefits. International students must maintain a full time study load.
The second and third years of the Bachelor of Aviation are also offered in external mode and via the Internet - fully on line, which means that there is no requirement for on campus attendance. For a number of courses you will be provided course materials via a variety of means, including printed materials and via Learning@Griffith. The remaining courses offered fully on line will allow you to participate in learning activities, lodge assessment items and access support services via Learning@Griffith. Access to a reliable computer with internet connection is essential.
The Bachelor of Aviation includes some core and optional courses which may be scheduled on Saturdays and Sundays between the hours of 9:00 - 4:00pm and it is expected that if you enrol in these courses as an on campus student you will be available to attend.

Professional Recognition
As a graduate of this program, you will receive a Commercial Pilot’s Licence.
Career Outcomes
Graduates will be qualified as pilots and prepared for employment in general aviation, which involves charter work, flight instruction (theory and practical) and other aerial services, such as agricultural spraying, aerial surveying and photography.
You will also be able to apply the skills acquired in your degree to many areas of the aviation industry such as management, research and human resource management. Other support areas include government instrumentalities, such as the Civil Aviation Safety Authority.
