Entry Requirements for Non-Degreed Applicants
The SCHSBM 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 management. 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:
i.
Technical certificates or diplomas that can be assessed by The University of the West Indies.
ii.
Five years’ experience in aviation or a business or management related field at a Supervisory or higher level.
iii.
Success at an interview conducted by a selected panel determined by the Campus Committee of Graduate Studies and the SCHSBM.

Two strong letters of recommendation.
