In Vietnam’s first international-standard aviation bachelor's degree, you'll gain an in-depth understanding of the aviation industry plus a range of analytical skills, giving you a comprehensive appreciation of the operating environment. Students will learn how to work individually and in teams to solve aviation industry problems.

With RMIT’s history of more than 80 years in aerospace and aviation education in Australia, this degree undertakes a practical and industry-focused approach. Having been successfully delivered in Melbourne, Hong Kong, and Singapore, the program provides access to international expertise, as aviation is a highly international discipline.

The degree offers the Aviation Operations and Management stream in Vietnam, covering a breadth of aviation knowledge including operational and management aspects of airlines and airports, ground handling, and safety. 

If you are interested in the Pilot stream, you will have the opportunity to transfer to Melbourne and study at RMIT’s Flight Training School.  

You can tailor this degree to suit your interests and desired career path through many general, business and aviation electives. Graduates will be able to communicate professionally to a diverse range of aviation industry stakeholders. In the final year of the degree, you’ll undertake the Capstone Aviation Industry Project, which is often coordinated with industry partners.   

Students will engage in a range of learning activities that are designed to support acquisition of contextual knowledge, industry knowledge, technical skills and applied skills. This includes face-to-face learning supported by online and library course materials, alongside self-directed inquiry. Learning activities include group workshops, individual and group practice-based exercises and tasks, studio-based project work (including a major capstone project), teacher-led classes, assignment work and facilitated tutorials.

Your learning experiences in this program will contain a broad mix of study modes, including lectures, tutorials, practical exercises, weekly classes, online and offline learning.

Assessments in most courses are undertaken through a mixture of continual and final assessment, and include written assignments, oral individual and group presentations, and reports. You will be assessed by a variety of methods as appropriate to the material being taught and the skills being acquired.

Towards the end of the program, you will have a chance to put your knowledge and skills in real-world settings as part of Work Integrated Learning in the Aviation Industry Project, in which you will conduct an independent research capstone project. This may be undertaken either within RMIT, or within an external company.
