The SCHSB is considering opening its doors to a restricted number of individuals without degrees, who are working in the private sector and have a desire to obtain advanced training in Aviation and Airline Business Analytics. It is expected that the number of students entering the programme through this route would be highly restricted and should represent no more than 25 percent of the cohort in any given year. Students entering through this route will be required to undertake a preliminary year of study. The entry criteria for these students would therefore be:
