Emirates Aviation College has awarded degrees to 197 graduands at this year’s graduation ceremony.

The ceremony which was presided over by the chairman of Emirates Airline and Group, Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum was attended by 500 families, friends, management and students of the college.

Speaking, the vice chancellor of the college, Dr. Ahmad Al Ali described the graduands as “a reflection of the diversity of the college’s global student body, coming from more than 16 nations such as the UAE, France, Germany, Russia, India and the Philippines”.

“The variety of degree programmes in which the graduates studied, many while still working full-time, illustrates how the college meets the educational needs of the UAE.

“With future plans to relocate the Emirate Aviation College to a completely new, state-of-the art campus in Academic City, the college is well-positioned to take its place as a recognised international institute for aviation studies excellence”, he added.

He said as a testament to its commitment to constantly offer new and industry-relevant programmes the college would introduce two additional programmes, an M.Sc in Aviation Safety and a Higher National Diploma in Operations Engineering.

He explained that the two programmes would add to the already expanded degree/certificate offerings which include MBA in Aviation Management, Bachelors degree in Aerospace Technology, Avionic Technology, Aeronautical Engineering, Aviation Management and Applied Business, Diplomas and Higher Diplomas in Aerospace Engineering, Electronics Engineering and Computing, Computing Software Development, Business Management and Tourism Management.

The spring semester which will commence on February 26 also marks the first session of the new JAA Licensed Pilot Training programme.
