What it is

The degree pairs university coursework in aviation operations, safety and aircraft management with integrated ATPL(A) flight training, which is the practical core of the studies. Flight training takes place at partner flight schools, and you choose your school early in the first year. Graduates qualify to fly as pilot in command or co-pilot on multi-crew commercial aircraft, to act as pilot in command in aerial work, or to take management roles in civil aviation, with qualifications valid across the EASA member states.

What you need

  • You need a Class 1 medical before flight training and pay the flight school yourself, about CZK 1,650,000. B2 English, or proof of earlier study in English.
