Overview
This Aviation - Airline Pilot degree from VIVES University of Applied Science actively applies the principles of 'blended learning' at VLOC. Aviation is a passion, and we convey that passion in our programmes. The programme is based on the ACT concept: 'Active learning and competence-focused training', which stimulates active student participation during the course and interactive use of aviation elements.
To do so, VIVES has a very extensive technical infrastructure, unique in the Benelux. There are several simulators, engines, systems and even airplanes available. Online training is also included. This way, there is a better mix of theory and practice overall.
Will I go on an internship during this course?
Safe flying, that's a project for your entire life, including your internship. You will fly at least 36 hours with VIVES. It can be more – we even prefer so.
A graduation project is also included, in which you’ll set up a complete flight preparation that you will present at the bachelor's project days in June of your final year. This is done in the presence of the responsible parties of Belgian airlines and ATOs (Approved Training Organisations).
