Aviation courses and degrees

Aviation courses and degrees at Swinburne are unique — we are the only university in Victoria offering bachelor degree-level courses that specifically train you to become a commercial pilot. 

Our studies give you a full scientific and cultural understanding of aviation, from aerodynamics to airline law and operations, plus safety, business strategy and more.

Best of all, our flight school gives you hands-on experience in actual and simulated environments, so you’ll be ready to take to the skies. In fact, from week one, you’ll take flight. But if you prefer your feet to be firmly planted on the ground, our Bachelor of Aviation Management can have you working in the operations centre, management, compliance network analysis and beyond.
