Overview
Launch your aviation career in Australia or beyond – without being a pilot. Choose to gain the organisational, regulatory, safety, technical and business management skills you need for a career in Aviation Operations. Alternately, develop specialist skills and knowledge in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), an emerging field focused on drones and other new aircraft types that are transforming the aviation industry.
Study Aviation Management majoring in Aviation Operations or Uncrewed Aircraft Systems to pursue a non-piloting career in the aviation industry, with guaranteed industry projects.
