Aerospace Engineering Swinburne University of Technology, Australia

aerospace and aeronautical engineering swinburne university
There are not many universities in Australia that do Aerospace Engineering as a programme. You should note that Aerospace engineering encompasses Aeronautical Engineering and Astronautical Engineering this make the scopes of study of the programme broader and expensive to run and this contribute to the reasons why many universities will not do Aerospace Engineering as a programme but will do Aeronautical Engineering instead. 

Aeronautical Engineering has to do with designing, development, manufacturing, maintaining and operating flying machines able to operate within atmosphere.

Aerospace Engineering at Swinburne university

Swinburne University is not among the few universities in Australia that do Aerospace Engineering as a course though it teaches other engineering programmes.

Aviation Courses

What Swinburne University do instead of Aerospace Engineering is Aviation Studies.  If you like to work in air transport industry as a aircraft pilot, flight attendant, flight engineer, loadmaster and so on then you may opt for this programme.

Study aviation courses at Swinburne University set you on a path to becoming a professional pilot and it is the only institution in Victoria that award Bachelor Degree in air transport courses.

Part of the flight training is done at CAE Oxford Aviation Academy to eligible students to obtain Commercial Pilot Licence. Training and study follow the CASA requirements and area of study includes but not limited to aviation human factors, aviation technology and aviation management

The Aviation programme lasted a duration of 3 years leading to the award of Bachelor of Aviation degree certificate on successful completion of the course.
