Program overview
A two year university diploma in professional aviation, covering flight theory, navigation, meteorology, air law, aircraft systems and the flight training required for commercial licensing.
University Diploma - Aviation asks 80 percent and is a diploma rather than a degree, and flight training costs are normally charged separately and are substantial on top of tuition.
University Diploma - Aviation is taught at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta. Mount Royal is a public university, which matters here: at a PUBLIC institution the Canadian field of study requirement applies only to non degree credentials, and University Diploma - Aviation is a two year university diploma rather than a degree. Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility for University Diploma - Aviation therefore depends on the programme sitting in an eligible field when you apply, and that list is revised. Confirm it in writing before you pay a deposit. The study permit application for University Diploma - Aviation also requires an Alberta attestation letter.
The academic bar for University Diploma - Aviation is Grade 12 or Class 12 with 80 percent. The English requirement is IELTS 6.5 with no band below 5.5, and tuition for University Diploma - Aviation is recorded at CAD 23,800 a year with a CAD 100 application fee. No scholarship is recorded against University Diploma - Aviation. University Diploma - Aviation lists four entry windows across the coming cycles. Apply Study Visa manages the University Diploma - Aviation application, the deposit, the letter of acceptance and the Canadian study permit as one process.

Admission requirements
Who can apply (guide for international students):
- Education: Grade 12 or Class 12 at the percentage stated for this programme.
- English: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no band below 5.5; TOEFL iBT 86 with at least 20 in every section; PTE Academic 58 with 55 in every component; or the Duolingo English Test at 120.
- Application and deposit: An application fee of CAD 100 applies. Confirm the tuition deposit and its refundability in writing before any money is transferred.
- Scholarship: No scholarship is recorded against this programme. Budget the full tuition.
- Additional requirement: Flight training costs are normally billed separately from tuition. Medical certification and Transport Canada licensing requirements apply and are assessed independently of admission.
- Work permit: University Diploma - Aviation is a two year university diploma rather than a degree, so the Canadian field of study test applies and Post-Graduation Work Permit eligibility must be confirmed in writing for your intake before you commit. No spousal open work permit arises. An Alberta attestation letter is required with the study permit application.
- Study permit: Apply Study Visa handles the Alberta attestation letter, the study permit application and the biometrics appointment with you.
