STUDY A
DEGREE
nnSAM DAWSON MAv
I started my Master of Aviation study in 2015, after completing a
Bachelor of Aviation (Air Transport Pilot) and Graduate Diploma in
Aviation (Flight Instruction). I chose Massey’s Master of Aviation
degree as I wanted to further my knowledge in the wider aviation
industry, particularly in airport and airline management. The degree’s
structure enabled me to study these topics in depth.
With the wide variety of interests and specialties of the lecturers and
supervisors, the degree gave me the opportunity to conduct research
into a range of aviation topics. I found the lecturers to be especially
supportive throughout my study. They always made themselves
available to address my questions and guide me in the right direction.
I am currently a Graduate Flight Instructor at the School of Aviation
where I can apply what I’ve learnt from the Master of Aviation degree
in my instruction to students.12

DOCTORAL STUDENTS SHOULD ENROL ONLINE
Your initial research proposal needs to include sufficient information for
your prospective supervisor to be able to assess your current knowledge
around your research topic. It will also be used by the School of Aviation
to gauge whether there is a current staff member within the School who is
able to supervise your research.
Students are enrolled provisionally in the first year of PhD study, during
which time your research proposal is developed. You are then confirmed
into the doctoral degree.
ENROLLING IN THE DOCTORAL PROGRAMME
You cannot enrol directly into a doctoral programme – you need to apply
to the Doctoral Research Committee (DRC) for admission. If you’re a
