Aviation Operations with Commercial Pilot Training BSc(Hons) single honours

Years 1 and 3 of the course take place at Kingston University's Roehampton Vale and Penrhyn Road campuses. Year 2 takes place at Bournemouth Commercial Flight Training (BCFT), a privately owned flight training operator based at Hurn Airport in Dorset and is delivered by specialist flight instructors.

Year 1 introduces aviation and equips you with the maths and physics skills needed for Years 2 and 3. You are introduced to the theory of flight and the aircraft systems that enable aircraft to fly. You are also provided with the core communication skills required to become a pilot and a future leader.

In Year 2 you are taught the specialised topics required for pilot training. The content is aligned with the 14 theoretical knowledge subjects required to achieve an EASA ATPL(A) licence. You are encouraged to keep a reflective written log of your training. Please be aware that the cost of the second year is approximately £70,000 in addition to university fees.

In Year 3, the focus is on understanding the operational and commercial nature of the airline industry. You are given the opportunity to research a topic of your choice to enhance your independent learning skills. You will also carry out a group project on airline management.
