Purpose of the Program
The combination of skills and qualifications from both the Bachelor of Applied Science (Aviation) and Bachelor of Business, provides you with the capability to play a pivotal role in planning, implementing and managing aviation projects in a wide range of industries, including the operational and management aspects of airlines, airports, and associated industries, safety, leadership, and professional skills.
The Bachelor of Applied Science (Aviation) program has been designed to:
- provide you with a broad, coherent, and detailed body of knowledge and theory related to the global aviation industry;
- develop your skills to critically review and analyse all aspects of the aviation industry;
- prepare you to work individually and in teams to solve aviation industry problems;
- produce graduates that can communicate professionally to diverse aviation industry stakeholders.
The program will prepare you for employment in a range of operational management and planning roles, including a career in areas such as:
- airline operations planning and management;
- airline maintenance management and supervision;
- airport landside operations;
- airport airside operations;
- airport planning and management;
- aviation safety management;
- airline strategies, finance, and traffic data;
- human factors concepts and applications.
The program will give you a general awareness of the aviation industry, enabling you to comprehensively appreciate the environment in which you are working, and brings together the knowledge and skills developed in the program, to demonstrate breadth and depth of thinking and capacity to solve real problems in the aviation workplace.
AERO2431 Aviation Industry Project provides you with a capstone experience, which will give you the opportunity to integrate, critically reflect on and consolidate what you have learnt in your program. Supervised by an RMIT University staff member and/or an industry-based expert, Aviation Industry Project provides you with the opportunity to apply your industry knowledge and undertake a project focusing on a real-world aviation-industry problem or issue. The capstone experience will give you the opportunity to integrate, critically reflect on and consolidate what you have learnt in your program.
The Bachelor of Business is a generalist business education degree that prepares you for careers in diverse business professions and environments, within a global context. The degree is flexible, allowing you to develop generalist business knowledge or undertake more focused studies through a choice of majors, minors and cross-disciplinary study options. As a graduate of this program, you will develop the skills and knowledge for employment in large corporations, government, small to medium enterprises and small business, and not for profit organisations.
The Bachelor of Business also provides a capstone experience at the conclusion of the program that is embedded in course BUSM2582 Business Graduate Folio. In the final year, this practical-based capstone course integrates outcomes of your self-directed journey for the purpose of careers, employability, further study, research, professional learning and/or self-reflection and celebration.
These programs have a real-world focus with an active learning approach and with learning activities and experiences designed to foster your development as an independent learner so you will be able to extend your capabilities once you graduate. The teaching methods may include lectorials, seminars, tutorials, workshops, practical and laboratory sessions, site visits and provision of online materials
This program is delivered in blended mode, which includes a combination of online, self-directed and face-to-face activities at the City campus.
