Bachelor in Piloting

Piloting prepares students for careers as commercial aircraft pilots, covering flight theory, navigation, aircraft systems, meteorology, and aviation regulations. Coursework typically includes principles of flight, air navigation, aviation meteorology, aircraft systems and instrumentation, and air law, combined with flight training hours in accordance with civil aviation licensing requirements. Students progress from ground school instruction covering the theoretical basis of flight to hands-on flight training in aircraft or simulators, building toward the skills required for commercial pilot licensing. Coursework also addresses crew resource management, communication procedures, and emergency handling relevant to safe flight operations. Graduates pursue careers as commercial airline pilots, charter pilots, or flight instructors, working with airlines, private aviation companies, or flight training organizations following the completion of licensing requirements. This bachelor's program is taught in English at Girne University in Girne, Northern Cyprus, over 4 years of full-time study. English-medium instruction reflects the international standard used in aviation communication, where English is the required language for air traffic control and cockpit operations worldwide. The curriculum combines academic coursework in aviation science with structured flight training hours, giving students both theoretical grounding and practical flying experience. Students also study aviation safety culture and regulatory compliance central to commercial flight operations. Over the 4-year program based in Girne, students build the combined academic and flight-hour requirements needed to pursue commercial pilot licensing after graduation.
