The Bachelor in Aviation Management - Hons (BAvM)

Why do UniKL MIAT, an institution focused on aircraft technology, offers this program? 

This is a normal question that I received since we start the program. Many people asked and at the same time try to offer answers. Well among the answers they gave:

• Management programs are normally cheaper to provide
• Attracts more students to UniKL MIAT
• UniKL MIAT is trying to monopolizes the aviation training sector
• To balance up the P&L
• Getting more foreign students

The real reason for UniKL MIAT to offer this program is because we listen to the many voices of the industry. The importance of well trained personnel in the aviation industry is such that it will have a significant impact to the company's bottom line. Such knowledgeable and skilled personnel will definitely enhanced the productivity of the organization.

The  graduates of the program are able to contribute to the industry in the following ways.

• Able to respond to the rapid changes in the global air travel industry as they are well grounded in the principles of air transportation and able to forecast changes as they are skilled in the use of applied statistics.
• Confident in handling issues and complaints from customers. The curriculum utilized a blended form of e-learning and problem based learning. Students can quickly asked relevant questions thus making it simpler for them to seek informations and offer quick and reliable solutions
• The students are coached by many industry experts. As such their networking capital were invested even before they graduate.
• Aviation industry operations are very complex. from Airlines to Airports then to Air Cargo Logistics and other related integrated services. In modern operational management, managers are expected to be able to simulate such complexities and then develop models to effectively run the operations. Graduates from this program are well versed with computerized simulations and operational research modeling.
• And the graduates are being grilled from year one to year four on their oral and written English competency. And of course they are also taught the basic Mandarin language. This is what the industry demands.

Since many of UniKL MIAT lecturers came from the various segments of the aviation industry we are confident that the BAvM will exceed the industry demand. And this program will be UniKL MIAT's blue ocean product serving this very important niche market. 

As an institution of higher learning we too belief in continuous learning, thus we also offer this program to working people in the industry. There is already one intake of the part time students following this program.
