Management or the Arts. It is designed to provide suitable academic qualifications for air transport
pilots, air traffic controllers, maintenance engineers, aviation professionals and military aviation
personnel, as well as offering a means of upgrading the competencies and skills of technically qualified
people in the aviation industry, through a relevant academic qualification.
Massey University has a long tradition in providing distance learning, and is effectively applying the
technologies of the Web and interactive online teaching. This is supported by well qualified and highly
motivated lecturers and administrative staff, who are always willing to go the extra mile for dedicated

GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
Aviation is a dynamic and exciting industry. Despite its brief history, the air transportation industry has become critical to world
trade. It is an international industry that spans the six continents, works across all cultures and national boundaries like no other
industry. It provides links between cities, islands and communities, forming a communication and delivery system unparalleled
by any other. Aviation is also a complex industry where regulators and commercial operators work together to deliver a safe and
efficient transportation system, now accepted by all and often taken for granted.
There are many career opportunities in aviation ranging from pilots and cabin crew in airlines, air traffic services, maintenance
engineering, management and business airports and regulatory services. For some, becoming a pilot is a key aspiration, while for
others, becoming an airport-planning expert or a maintenance engineer is the ultimate goal. Whatever the choice, the aviation
industry is increasingly demanding academically qualified visionaries with initiative, drive and a wider perspective of the industry
and the business of air transportation. Aviation is a truly international business, with the skills acquired in one country easily
transported and applied in another.
ABOUT MASSEY UNIVERSITY (MU)

Massey University is one of the few academic institutions worldwide which offer a dedicated integrated aviation degree
programme by distance learning. It is the only state university in New Zealand to have specialised courses in aviation. The need
for academically as well as technically qualified personnel is recognised by the aviation industry. Distance learning provides a very
effective solution for adult students needing to balance work and lifestyle commitments with a need to develop their professional
career prospects.
Massey University first became actively involved with the aviation industry in the 1970s , and in 1985 decided to combine its
teaching and research expertise and create a new school which would be dedicated to the improvement of professional aviation
for pilots, air traffic controllers, maintenance engineers, managers and human resource developers. This now underlies the
academic programmes of what is today Massey Universitys School of Aviation. These programmes include the Bachelor of Aviation
(BAv), Bachelor of Aviation Management (BAvMan), Bachelor of Aviation Management Honours (BAvMan (Hons)), Postgraduate
Diploma in Aviation (PGDipAv), Master of Aviation (MAv) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).
The Bachelor of Aviation Management was created in 2002 and is specifically designed for students seeking a career as an aviation
manager or for those already in the aviation industry with varying levels of experience and qualifications. Some of these industry
experiences, professional qualifications and Licences are eligible for cross-credit into this degree.
ABOUT SINGAPORE AVIATION ACADEMY (SAA)

The Singapore Aviation Academy (SAA), established in 1958, is the internationally-recognised training arm of the Civil Aviation
Authority of Singapore.

To copy another persons thoughts, ideas or writings and

present them as your own is plagiarism. It is a form of cheating
and one that Massey University will penalise as a very serious
offence. Such penalties may include expulsion from the paper
or from the University.
In both course work and examinations, students may choose
to quote from other works, or to propound theories which are
not their own, but the original sources of those other works
or theories must be clearly cited. This applies whether the
source is published or unpublished. It also applies to web-based
sources.
Some Departments encourage team cooperation for certain
course work. Naturally, in these cases the results and
conclusions may be presented by students, provided they are
acknowledged as such. However, students who collude in
plagiarism by knowingly permitting their own original work to be
copied by other students, without acknowledgement, will incur
severe penalties.
DISTANCE LEARNING
HOW MUCH TIME WILL IT TAKE?
The amount of time youll need to devote to studying varies according to the paper(s) you
choose. As a rule of thumb, you should allow 10 hours per week for a 15-credit paper taken
over a single semester. The above time suggestion is a minimum you may require more time
than this. Postgraduate level papers will require more time allocated per week than this.
Special care must be taken when selecting papers. Students would have to decide how many
papers to take based on the amount of available time they have. Massey University / SAA
would not be able to advise on the matter.
MASSEY HAS
BEEN
DELIVERING D
ISTANCE
TO DOMESTIC
AND
INTERNATION
AL STUDENTS
FOR THE LAST
50 YEARS.
The maximum number of credits in which a student may enrol in Semester One or Semester
Two is 60 credits, or four papers per semester. In exceptional circumstances (and upon
application and approval) a student may be eligible to enrol in an extra paper if, for example, 5
papers would enable a student to complete a degree. All such applications would be considered on a
case-by-case basis only.

AND AVIATION MANAGEMENT COMPETENCIES.
IT IS FOR CANDIDATES ENTERING THE AVIATION
INDUSTRY OR FOR THOSE ALREADY EMPLOYED
IN AVIATION* BUT WITH NO PREVIOUS TERTIARY
QUALIFICATIONS.
This BAvMan evolved from the Aviation
Management major in the Bachelor of Aviation
and was first introduced in 2002.
* With or without professional licence
11
OVERVIEW
The Bachelor of Aviation Management degree requires the
equivalent of three years of full-time study to complete. A full
time student would complete approximately 8 papers, at 15
credits each, totalling 120 credits for the years work. A student
studying in distance learning or block mode might consider his
or her progress as satisfactory if he or she completed 60 credits
per year in a two-semester 26-week year.
WHO IS THE PROGRAMME DESIGNED FOR?

Current students enrolled in this programme by distance mode
include airline pilots in Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand,
Singapore and Indonesia, as well as air traffic controllers,
Defence Force personnel, Fire and Safety personnel, Airport
planners, Aviation Training Consultants, and Aviation Managers.
Increasing numbers of high school graduates seeking to
enter the aviation industry are also enrolling in this major in
preference to starting their careers without any qualifications,
or undertaking more general arts, science or business degrees.
STRUCTURE
The subjects for the degree are taught in a series of papers at
each level (100-level relates to papers at the first year standard,
200-level relates to papers at the second year standard and
300-level relates to papers at the third year standard). You must
complete a total of at least 5 papers at 300-level, and no more
than 9 papers at 100-level.
Each paper is identified by a six-number reference such as
190.216. The first 3 digits (190.) refer to the department within
the University that teaches the paper in this case, 190 is the
School of Aviation. The last three numbers (216) indicate the
level of the paper and its number within the department. For
example, first year (100-level papers) have numbers like 190.109,
second year (200-level papers) have numbers like 190.216, and
third year (300-level papers) have numbers like 190.313.
You are required to complete 10 compulsory papers (150
credits), plus a further 14 elective papers (210 credits) to bring
the total number of credits to 360. Of these 14 elective papers at
least 9 must be aviation elective papers, and the other 6 can be
from other departments at Massey. Of these 6 papers no more
than 5 papers can be from the College of Business (114.xxx, 152.
xxx and 178.xxx papers), and no more than 3 papers may be
from 149.xxx papers. If you have been awarded a cross-credit
then this will count towards your degree credit requirements in
accordance with the above guidelines.
