We believe aviation is integral to how we travel, transport, trade and defend, in today’s society. That’s why we offer aviation courses at Swinburne.
Our aviation courses take you on a transformative journey through an industry on the forefront of business and technology. We provide you with the essential study areas of this multifaceted field. It’s just a matter of choosing the subject that interests you, from aerodynamics, navigation, meteorology, aircraft mechanics, air law, airline and airport operations, safety and aviation business strategy.
And because we believe an education shouldn’t stop at the lecture theatre, we place an emphasis on practical experience. We allow you to learn in the actual or simulated environment you’ll be working in, for many of our courses. It’s our way of providing you with invaluable, hands-on exposure for the career you want – whether it’s in the air or on the ground.
An aviation course could lead to a future in piloting aircraft, air traffic control, management, compliance, network analysis and beyond.
