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.10

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.
