2 I chose to study aviation management, as not everyone can fly the big planes and I felt that there would be more employment opportunities in other roles. What I like most is that the course provides students with a sound understanding of the aviation industry, both locally and overseas, and also provides opportunities in many different areas in the industry. Brayden Bachelor of Aviation (Management)
