This course sits within the field of Management and Commerce (080000). At the Bachelor Degree level (AQF Level 7), graduates typically acquire a broad and coherent body of knowledge in commerce and aviation management, with depth in underlying principles and concepts. They develop cognitive skills to review, analyse, and consolidate information, and communication skills to present ideas clearly. The dual qualification means you study both commerce and aviation management simultaneously, covering subjects like accounting, finance, marketing, aviation law, airport operations, and airline management. While specific subjects are set by UNSW, the CRICOS registration confirms the course meets national educational standards.
The course runs for 4 years (208 weeks on the CRICOS register) and is delivered in English. It is a dual qualification, meaning you graduate with two degrees: a Bachelor of Commerce and a Bachelor of Aviation (Management). This integrated structure allows you to complete both in less time than studying them separately, giving you a competitive edge in the job market. Full-time study is typical, but check with UNSW for any flexible options.
