Those with a passion for the aviation industry and looking to play an important role in the world of aviation, could now get a stronger footing, following the launch of Asia’s only BA (Hons) Degree in Air Transport with Commercial Pilot Training.

‘The Aviator” Degree Programme that is to commence in 2013, is a joint effort of three globally acclaimed partners, with Buckinghamshire New University UK academic course modules delivered through Gateway Graduate School as facilitator and Skyline Aviation (Pvt) Ltd delivering the ground school and flight training facilities.

The 3-year full-time B.A. (Hons) Degree course (consisting of 6 semesters) in Air Transport that initially produces commercial pilots, gives an added academic qualification of a Degree that will enhance the portfolio to progress into command and management roles.

According to the Gateway Graduate School, beginners with 6 passes in the GCE Ordinary Level examination with credit passes for English Language and Mathematics can apply for the Degree. Those who have already obtained a Private Pilot License (PPL) can obtain credit for it and complete the frozen ATPL and the Degree. If you are a Commercial Pilot with two or more years of experience, a one year top-up Degree opportunity will be offered.

With regard to the cost factor, students could obtain both a Degree and a frozen ATPL at a lower cost through this study programme than obtaining them separately. Students will be able to complete the entire Degree Programme in Sri Lanka thus making further savings on high living costs abroad. Whilst there will be proper instructional sessions, certain sessions of the course will be delivered via a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) with students not having to travel anywhere else in the world to complete the Degree.
