Diploma in Aviation Maintenance

The Diploma in Aviation Maintenance is a university-level education program designed to provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to pursue a career in aircraft maintenance. The program is intended to complement EASA Part 66 training and give students an academic standing in the broader field of the industry.

Program Overview

The program covers various areas, including:

• Aerospace engineering (principles of flight, aerospace materials, aircraft structures, and aircraft powerplants)
• Avionics and electrical engineering technology
• Aviation rules and shop-floor operations
• Engineering mathematics

Admission Requirements

• General Entry Requirements: Refer to the list of country-specific qualifications
• Special Course Requirements:
  • A pass at Advanced Matriculation Level at Grade C or better in Physics, and a pass at Advanced Matriculation Level in one other subject
  • The EASA Part 66 License or equivalent
  • A technical diploma (such as HND/HTD) or equivalent
• Notes and other requirements: If applicants have other qualifications considered sufficient, they may be exempted by the University Admissions Board from the whole or part of these special course requirements for admission.
