BSc (Hons) Aviation Operations with Commercial Pilot Training including Foundation Year
Study for a degree in aviation operations alongside your flight training to ensure you graduate ready to fly into a graduate job with an airline. This programme combines theory with practical skills to ensure you have the most up-to-date awareness of the aviation industry and piloting abilities.
In Year 2, you'll be based at our partner flight school. This is an Approved Training Organisation (ATO), with training delivered by specialist ground school instructors. You'll study the syllabus of the 13 Theoretical Knowledge exams needed to obtain a UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) ATPL (A) licence.
Please note: the cost of flight training could be around £90,000, in addition to University fees. Student Finance does not cover any CAA exams or flight training. Hence, additional funding will be required to complete the ATPL training.
In addition, an ATPL is only valid if you hold a Class 1 CAA Medical Certificate. In consultation with the flying school, students are encouraged to undertake the Class 1 Medical between the first and second years of the course. For those who may be concerned that there may be an impediment to being awarded the Class 1 Medical, it is recommended that the medical is undertaken prior to commencing the course.
For further information on Class 1 Medicals and other regulatory restrictions (including those affected by the UK leaving the European Union), visit the UK Civil Aviation Authority website.
