Hi, I am starting at BNU in September. I am going to be doing Aviation Management with Commercial Pilot Training.
I did Applied Scince and got a DDM as a predicted grade. I applied and got an unconditional offer. I also got accepted to Kingston university. I am weighing the pros and cons of each

hi i also did that btec and got a DDM, if i applied to that course in ucas extra or during clearing do you think ill get accepted?. My application was purely based for dental therapy but im thinking if i dont get accepted to completely change my application to that course at BNU

Honestly I think if you got the grades, there is a high chance you could get in.

i applied yesterday and i got in today🫣 it is my backup option how ever idek anymore shall i even do it. Its around 90k right?

What's around 90k?

it said somewhere the first year you will need to spend around 50-90k £ for licensing and medicals ectr idk what specifically tho

Where are you getting that figure from?
The aviation management course at BNU is £9535 p/a
Sure they may be some addition costs for things but I can't imagine it would be anywhere even remotely close to 90k or even 50k

yeah it is £9.5 for the university fees, the 50k is additional costs for the course which i was looking for more information on myself.
https://www.bucks.ac.uk/courses/undergraduate/bsc-hons-aviation-management-commercial-pilot-training-aeroplanes
scroll down to the additional costs section
“We recommend to budget for a total cost of around £15,000-£17,000 additional fees in Year 1 for this. “
“To complete the Fixed Wing Commercial Licence with Instrument Rating, if that is the aim, will cost in the region of £50,000 or more. You can speak to various flying schools in the UK directly to get the most up-to-date costings.”

Crikey
I guess that's the cost of being able to fly planes I suppose.
That's a different degree from just the Aviation Management one though. That isn't mentioned on the standard AM page:
BSc (Hons) Aviation Management | Buckinghamshire New University

i applied yesterday and i got in today🫣 it is my backup option how ever idek anymore shall i even do it. Its around 90k right?

Just got my offer for mechanical Engineering with foundation year

There's never much chatter around this university so I guess I'll post.
My daughter (currently on her gap year) is starting at BNU in September 2025 doing BA Hons 3D Game Art. She's already got her place secured as she's finished her A Levels.
She did A Levels in Art, Classical Civilisation, and English.
It would be nice to hear if anyone else is starting at BNU next September, in particular on her course.

Sorry for stirring up an old thread but my son starts on the same course as your daughter in September

anyone starting the Aviation Management with Commercial Pilot Training in Aeroplanes this september?
