For Program Objectives and Graduate Attributes for the Bachelor of Aviation (Management), students should refer to the 3981 Bachelor of Aviation (Management) program page.

Program Structure
Students are required to complete the disciplinary core for the Bachelor of Commerce consisting of 96 UOC, and the disciplinary core for the Bachelor of Aviation (Management) consisting of 96 UOC. Where the requirements for the two programs are completed in less than 192 units of credit due to overlapping courses, students may satisfy the remaining units of credit from those offered by the Australian School of Business or the courses listed as electives for the Bachelor of Aviation (Management).

Students are required to complete at least 96 UOC in courses offered by the Australian School of Business consisting of:

Major requirements: 48 UOC in an approved disciplinary stream offered by the Australian School of Business (See Table A on program page 3502), containing at least 18 UOC at level 3. (Note that the 48 UOC includes the first disciplinary course(s) in the Core (Compulsory or Flexible). This means that, for the majority of majors, students will complete 42 UOC in specified disciplinary courses outside the core.)

Note: Additional courses may need to be taken from within the Australian School of Business to ensure you complete a total of 96 UOC of Commerce courses within the B Com component.

Aviation (Management) electives:
Choose 6 UOC from:

Choose 12 UOC from the following Stage 2 electives:

Choose 12 U0C from the following Stage 3 electives:

Notes:
  • Students are expected to take lower stage courses in preference to higher stage courses in order to complete lower stage program requirements as soon as possible, i.e. stage 1 courses should be completed prior to stage 2 courses. Stages of courses are identified by the first number in the course code, ie AVIA1321 is a stage 1 course.
  • Students can take a maximum of 90 UOC of level 1 courses in the dual program – 60 UOC of level 1 for the Bachelor of Commerce and 30 UOC level 1 for the Bachelor of Aviation (Management).
  • Students completing a major in Management or Human Resource Management as part of their Bachelor of Commerce program cannot take MGMT2721 as an elective in the Aviation (Management) program. These students will need to choose an alternative Aviation stage 2 elective.
  • As there is greater flexibility in core course offerings by the Australian School of Business, students should consider prioritising their core Aviation (Management) courses when planning their enrolment each semester.
