Munster Technological University: Munster Technological University (MTU) is an innovative and forward-thinking institution located in Cork, Ireland. It is the result of a merger between Cork Institute of Technology and Institute of Technology Tralee. MTU offers a diverse range of programs in engineering, science, business, art and design, and more. The university focuses on practical learning, industry collaborations, and research that addresses real-world challenges. With a student-centered approach, MTU provides students with a supportive environment, state-of-the-art facilities, and opportunities for professional development. It aims to equip graduates with the skills and knowledge required to succeed in their chosen careers and contribute to societal and economic development.

This is an ab-initio programme that provides embedded pilot training as part of a level 8 degree. This programme will see students study on campus for one year, undertake pilot training for a further two years, and then complete the final year of study online while working. For prospective pilots, the ability to complete flight training together with an honours degree provides the student with a unique opportunity to take a blended approach to becoming a professional pilot. The benefit of being able to experience life on campus enables students to develop social and interpersonal skills. The final year of the programme affords students the opportunity to complete their third level studies whilst working as a pilot through the delivery of exclusively online lectures tailored for actively working aviation professionals. NOTE: There is a substantial non-standard cost associated with completing this programme as the aviation aspect of the programme is not covered by Government supports. This must be considered by all applicants. See entry requirements below for further information.
