This program is very unique and allows students to have many amazing opportunities. I received my commercial pilot’s license while pursuing studies in biochemistry at the same time. I had the opportunity to compete in the Webster Trophy competition for amateur pilots as well as I received a grant to research Pilot Behaviour in Flight Training Unit. This degree has opened many doors that span the aviation and the scientific fields.
