Program Description

Lessons in pilot uniform. Flying instructors. Syllabuses on a tablet. Airplanes. Definitely not your average school activity. Learn to fly and get all the technical and operational knowledge about airplanes. Unique airline pilot training in Flanders at Ostend international airport.

The Bachelor in Airline Pilot (Major) combines a pilot training with a bachelor’s degree: a unique mix that will have you aim for the sky in your career -literally.

Flying is a passion. For you, for VIVES and for BAFA, its training partner. Together, they put everything to work to get you a job in the cockpit (your flying desk at 12 kilometres above the ground) or as an unmanned aircraft pilot (at sea level). From all over Europe, students fly in to become an aviation professional.

The students have their own student club Euroavia. Cool activities such as company visits, design competitions, or fly-ins are on the agenda every year.

Extra costs: Specific extra costs can be charged to the student if they are linked to the organisation of the training.
