B.Sc. Aeronautical Science

Program Overview

The B.Sc. Aeronautical Science program at VISTAS, in collaboration with MH Cockpit as the knowledge partner, is designed to provide students with a robust foundation in aeronautical sciences, preparing them for a range of careers in aviation and aerospace. This comprehensive program focuses on key aspects of aviation and aeronautics, ensuring that students gain in-depth knowledge, practical skills, and industry exposure to excel in their careers.

As a NAAC A++ accredited institution, VISTAS ensures the highest academic excellence and industry readiness standards. MH Cockpit, with its extensive experience in aviation education and training, brings a unique advantage to the program by bridging academic learning with industry practices.

The program offers a thorough understanding of aviation fundamentals, including Pilot Ground Class Learning, ATC Operations, and Airline and Airport operations, all delivered through six engaging modules in the BSc Aeronautical Science curriculum. Our graduates take pride in a 100% placement record, landing exciting positions with top airlines and aviation organizations both in India and around the world.

Vels Having a prestigious MoU with the Airport Authority of India, students are offered internship opportunities at airports across India, ensuring hands-on learning in real-world aviation environments. Additionally, students gain live aircraft experience, where they explore real aircraft and learn about systems ranging from the cockpit to the auxiliary power unit, preparing them for dynamic roles in the aviation industry.

Program Highlights

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS:

Theoretical Knowledge for CPL: Our B.Sc Aeronautical Science program places a strong emphasis on providing students with a solid foundation in theoretical aeronautical knowledge, essential for the successful pursuit of a Commercial Pilot License (CPL) as per DGCA standards.

ATC and Airport Operations: Students delve into the intricacies of Air Traffic Control (ATC) and gain insights into airport operations, covering both technical and operational aspects to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic aviation environment.

Airline Ground and Flight Operations: The program extensively covers the complexities of airline ground and flight operations. Students learn about various procedures, protocols, and challenges involved in ensuring the seamless functioning of airlines.

Flight Operations: Our curriculum introduces a specialised module focusing on flight operations, offering students an in-depth understanding of planning, execution, and monitoring of flights. Topics include route planning, weather considerations, and emergency procedures, preparing students for key roles in the operational aspects of aviation.

Aircraft Maintenance: We’ve incorporated a dedicated module that delves into aircraft maintenance, covering the critical aspects of ensuring aircraft safety and reliability. Students will learn about maintenance procedures, inspections, and regulatory compliance, providing them with the knowledge required to contribute to the integrity of aircraft systems.

Aerospace: The program now includes a module on aerospace, exposing students to the broader realm of aeronautics beyond commercial aviation. This module covers space exploration, satellite technology, and advancements in aerospace engineering, broadening students’ perspectives and preparing them for diverse career opportunities within the aerospace sector.

Practical Training: To enhance the learning experience, our program includes practical training sessions, allowing students to apply their theoretical knowledge in real-world scenarios. This hands-on approach prepares them for the practical challenges they may encounter in their aeronautical careers.

Industrial Visits: We believe in providing our students with exposure to the industry through organised industrial visits. These visits facilitate a better understanding of the operational environment, giving students a firsthand look into the day-to-day workings of airports, airlines, aircraft maintenance organisations, and aerospace companies.

Internships: As part of the curriculum, students are offered opportunities for internships in both domestic and international airports, airlines, aircraft maintenance organisations, and aerospace companies. These internships provide valuable industry experience, helping students bridge the gap between academia and the professional world.
