Learn to Fly – flygc.info Review for Lund University School of Aviation – Ljungbyhed, Sweden
Admission process is tough!
Clearly, if the university is going to be taking care of the cheque at the end of the three-year course, they are going to make sure from the outset that the students admitted into the programme are the most likely to pass and become pilots in the professional world.
For this reason, the admission process is tough.Certainly a lot harder than to get into a private flight school. Broken up into three parts:
The first part takes all the applicants (which was 283 for the programme’s maiden voyage) and whittles that down to the 60 best qualified based on their application
Firstly, students must know Norwegian, which eliminates most international prospects.
But if you are Scandinavian, the indications are good.As mentioned above,the degree does inadvertently address the current economic climate by giving the students a qualification that can be applied to a greater range of careers. However, there is one side to the economic crisis that the degree cannot help. Airline cut-backs. In the past, airlines would cover the training necessary for pilots to get certified for their planes.
Now, some companies have the pilots cover the cost which is around NOK150,000.So while the university will provide free education and training, students may still need to dish out large amounts before they can actually begin working. But there is a silver lining. Even though the programme is very new, it has piqued the interest of a number of airline companies, some of whom will cover the costs for additional training.
