- If students elect to undertake integrated flying training, then:
- Australian Government legislation requires the passing of a medical examination as a prerequisite to flight training
- the cost of the flight training must be paid by the student
- although the normal study period is 13 weeks, students may be required to attend during the breaks for flight training
- students who undertake flight training are required to satisfy the standard of dress and behaviour prescribed by the Flying School.
- BUGE elective is a free elective to be selected from any discipline area approved as contrasting with the discipline category of the professional program (see http://www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/MajorMinor/DisplayMajor.asp).
