    Foundation Year Programs in Aviation

    A foundation year is a program of study designed to prepare young and international students to pursue an undergraduate degree. This type of program often focuses on the study and language skills needed to successfully complete further education.

    What is a foundation year in aviation? A foundation year in aviation is a field of study designed to lay the groundwork for a student to get an undergraduate degree in aviation. Certain courses are required over the course of the year and may include basic aviation theory, air transport security, introduction to economics, airport operations, airline management and flying phases. After the foundation year is completed, students will likely be ready to continue their studies for a bachelor’s degree.

    A foundation year in aviation is beneficial because it gives students important time management and study skills. This foundation year can also help a student decide whether their path of study is right for them.

    Because this program typically only lasts a year, the cost is comparably low, but the price of a foundation year program can vary greatly from one institution to another. The cost also depends on what classes you take and where the institution is located.

    After a student completes a foundation year in aviation, she or he will likely be ready to continue pursuing a bachelor’s degree. With this early foundation, a scholar may be able to one day get a job as a commercial or private pilot. Many airlines prefer their pilots have a strong technical and theoretical foundation before they are hired. Graduates may also be able to find jobs in the government after their education is completed.
