Bachelor of Engineering (Honours)/Bachelor of Aviation

This double degree gives you two clear career pathways. As a graduate, you may choose to be a qualified commercial pilot with engineering qualifications, knowing that airlines prefer their pilots to have an engineering qualification. Or, you could choose to be an engineer with flight qualifications, recognising that engineering companies building aircraft or aviation systems prefer flight-qualified engineers. To become flight-qualified, you must complete the Graduate Diploma of Flight Management (GDFM).

It's achievable through this unique degree that combines the Electronic Engineering or Mechanical Engineering major in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) with the core requirements of the Bachelor of Aviation, which includes the theoretical component of flight training.

In aviation and engineering, building a professional network and proving your competency in the workplace is a crucial first step in your career. At Griffith, our aviation and engineering schools are well-connected with industry, so we can help our students get a foot in the door through work-integrated learning. You'll undertake a full trimester (full-time) engineering placement with a company in the aviation space, working on a live engineering project that will allow you to put your new knowledge into practice working within a high-achieving, multi-disciplinary team. That's in addition to the many opportunities we provide our students each year to participate in field trips to engineering companies, where you can meet experienced professionals and be inspired.

As a graduate, you'll be qualified as an electronics or mechanical engineer and will have completed the full theory component for your commercial pilot's licence. This is an amazing opportunity to pursue a career as a pilot through further training or to become a highly qualified engineer in the aviation industry.

Selection for admission to an undergraduate degree is made on the basis of academic merit.

Selection for admission is competitive as the number of applicants generally exceeds the places available. The minimum requirement for eligibility for admission is completion of Year 12 of secondary school or equivalent academic achievement.

Prerequisites for admission may be specified in terms of levels of achievement in particular Year 12 subjects. Prerequisite conditions may be satisfied by other study or experience which is considered to be equivalent to the Year 12 prerequisites. More information is available on the Prerequisites and Assumed Knowledge website.
