Selection process information

Terms and conditions.

Welcome to the application website for the B.Sc. in Pilot Studies, a programme which combines FTE’s renown integrated programme, the Airline First Officer Programme (AFOP), with an official degree; the Bachelor of Science in Pilot Studies, delivered by our educational partner, SETU (South East Technological University).

This programme has been developed to allow airline pilot cadets the opportunity to graduate with both an ATPL licence and a European recognised degree. The B.Sc. in Pilot Studies is compliant with the Bologna Framework (ECTS credits) and is a great starting point to an airline career, especially for students who have just completed high school level studies.

Selection for the B.Sc. in Pilot Studies will follow the standard format and battery of tests FTEJerez conducts for the AFOP. Successful candidates will be offered to join the course commencing in Carlow, Ireland, in September 2023 and subsequently, positions on AFOP courses commencing throughout summer 2024.

The B.Sc. in Pilot Studies is compliant with the Bologna Framework (ECTS credits) and is a great starting point to an airline career for students who have just completed high school level studies.

The degree is the result of close work with the airline industry, developing a programme that meets the industry’s needs and expectations.

This programme is ideal for candidates who have just completed secondary level education (high school) and, in general, for candidates who do not hold university degrees or professional qualifications.

To be eligible for this scheme you must meet entry criteria for the Airline First Officer Programme.

Total fees for the academic module of the B.Sc. in Pilot Studies are € 9,900, payable to SETU before course commencement in September 2023.

On completion of the academic modules, students will enrol on a standard Airline First Officer Programme. Current fees for the AFOP are € 121,500 Euros, including full-board accommodation.

Funding options for Spanish residents may be available with our partner banks. More information available at www.ftejerez.com/afop.

Students selected for this programme will not only add a formal recognition to their EASA ATPL but, unlike other degree programmes, the B.Sc. in Pilot Studies will also deliver real academic value and further quality training that is truly appreciated by the industry’s main employers.

In addition, the B.Sc. in Pilot Studies provides students with familiarisation and further knowledge in key competencies that will improve their performance throughout the theoretical stages of the ATPL syllabus.

With over 100 students having enrolled on this programme so far, the B.Sc. in Pilot Studies has been certified by the Royal Aeronautical Society and has ranked in the top-3 of Europe’s leading degree programmes for ATPL students.

It is also worth mentioning that students enrolled on this programme are allowed to apply for any airline mentored programme delivered by FTEJerez without compromising their guaranteed slot on one of the AFOP courses in summer 2024.

Candidates will be able to apply as from May 2023.
