Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Aviation (Management)

The Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Aviation (Management) at the University of New South Wales is a unique double degree designed for students interested in both the dynamic world of business and the specialised aviation industry. Delivered over four years of full-time study in Sydney, this programme integrates foundational business education with tailored insights into aviation management, preparing graduates for versatile careers in one of Australia’s fastest-growing sectors.

Students undertake a combination of business and aviation management units, accumulating credit points through core and elective courses in areas such as economics, accounting, marketing, operations and supply chain management, and aviation policy. The academic programme is structured through semesters, allowing in-depth study of both disciplines. Advanced courses may cover airline operations, airport planning, safety management, and regulatory frameworks unique to the Australian context.

Practical learning is emphasised, with opportunities to participate in work-integrated learning projects or industry placements. Students can expect to develop skills in leadership, problem solving, analytical thinking, and business decision-making, all within the context of aviation enterprises. A final year capstone project consolidates learning and enhances real-world readiness through research or practical assignments linked to industry partners.

This double degree suits individuals who aspire to managerial and leadership roles in aviation or wish to maintain broad business career pathways. Its Australian focus, strong industry links, and emphasis on both commerce and aviation ensure well-rounded graduates prepared for future opportunities. International students are required to demonstrate English proficiency, with several accepted test options, and should confirm current requirements and course details via the official university page.
