Prospective students interested in a career that combines aviation and business will have an opportunity to learn more about one of Ireland’s most distinctive aviation programmes at an upcoming webinar hosted by Munster Technological University (MTU).
The online webinar will provide an overview of MTU’s BSc (Honours) in Global Business and Pilot Studies, a programme designed to equip graduates with both a university business degree and the qualifications required to pursue a career as a professional airline pilot.
A key feature of the programme is its partnership with Atlantic Flight Training Academy (AFTA), one of Ireland’s leading pilot training organisations. Representatives from AFTA are expected to participate in the session, providing attendees with insights into the flight training pathway and career opportunities available across the aviation sector.
The course reflects the increasingly global nature of the aviation industry, combining business studies with professional pilot training. Graduates leave with a Level 8 honours degree alongside the skills and qualifications needed to enter the airline industry.
For Ireland’s aviation sector, programmes such as this play an important role in developing the next generation of flight crew and aviation professionals, supporting a pipeline of talent for airlines operating both in Ireland and internationally.
Registration for the webinar is available through MTU’s online events platform. Interested students, parents and career changers can attend to learn more about course content, admission requirements and career prospects within commercial aviation.
