Bachelor of Aviation Management

Griffith University's Bachelor of Aviation Management in Brisbane is aimed at those seeking to move into leadership and management roles within the aviation sector. Across two years of full-time study, students complete a series of structured units focused on airline operations, airport management, aviation safety, and the business frameworks underpinning commercial aviation.

Coursework is organised into units of study, each carrying its own credit points towards graduation requirements. Students engage with core topics such as aviation law, air transport economics, operational management, strategy, and human factors. The curriculum is tailored to Australian and international aviation environments, taking into account local regulations, industry practices, and business needs.

Australian aviation employers value skills in safety management, analytical thinking, and communication — attributes honed through case studies, simulation work, and project-based assessments. Where relevant, students may have opportunities to participate in work-integrated learning, deepening their exposure to real-world challenges within airlines, airports, or government bodies. The degree suits those with an interest in both aviation and business, whether you’re starting out or seeking to develop your existing experience in the industry.

Entry for international students typically requires IELTS 6.0–6.5 or equivalent, as outlined by Griffith and Australian government requirements. Graduates are eligible to apply for post-study work rights under the Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485), and may work up to 48 hours per fortnight while enrolled.
