This year, the Academy is accepting applications for the Commercial Air Transport Pilot (1-year) programme, a 60 ECTS Bachelor’s degree designed especially for licensed pilots who wish to complement their professional experience with higher education. The programme can be completed in one year or at a lighter pace over up to three years.
Applicants can learn more about the studies on the Commercial Air Transport Pilot programme page and apply through DreamApply, where all required application documents must be submitted electronically. Prospective students must upload all required documents, including proof of secondary education, English language proficiency (minimum B2), a valid pilot licence or training documentation, and confirmation of the application fee.
The Commercial Air Transport Pilot programme is delivered 100% online, with independent study supported by digital materials and scheduled seminars, enabling students around the world to balance work and study.
The one-year programme is ideal for pilots seeking to obtain a Bachelor of Science degree in aviation while continuing their professional activities. Upon graduation, students will have a broad understanding of airline and airport operations, safety and compliance, aviation management, and emerging technologies in aviation.
The Estonian Aviation Academy also offers an international study programme in Commercial Aviation Management, which is not open for admissions for the 2026/2027 academic year.
