MANAGEMENT and Science University (MSU) has presented eight from MSU’s first Bachelor of Science in aviation Management and Piloting (Hons) cohort at the Faculty of Information Science and engineering (FISE) with their Private Pilot Licence (PPL).
Out of the six who received their wings from MSU president Prof tan Sri Dr Mohd Shukri ab Yajid in a ceremony held at the MSU Performing arts theatre (Pat) – Muhammad arif Zaini, siblings Muhammad Wafiq Fikhri Bazlan and Muhammad nazim Izwan Bazlan, Muhammad nurhaziq Rusly, Kavinbaarathy Kaniyamuthan, and Yap Wei Kian – five had graduated at MSU’s 30th convocation ceremony.
the eight who had completed their PPL training at Layang Layang Flying academy (LLFa) in December 2021 included Dylan tang Yeou Horng and azreel Isaac Murphy.
the new pilots have had 50 hours of flying on top of flight simulator training and ground school instruction in Flight Instrumentation and air navigation as well as Radio Communication.
they managed to complete two weeks of flying pre-pandemic at LLFa before continuing with their ground school and passing all their nine papers post-pandemic.
As one of MSU’s industry partners, Layang Layang Flying academy has provided industrial exposure or internship, where students are able to gain the experience of the workplace as well as enhance relevancy and the eco-system of higher education in the coming future.
as an applied and enterprise university focused to enhance graduate employability, the MSU graduate employability currently ranks at 97.5% of its graduates successfully securing employment within six months of their graduation on the Ministry of Higher education Malaysia (MOHE) tracer study.
MSU has industrial collaborations with over 2,000 industries under its industry embedded programmes initiatives. these collaborations are focused on several areas of cooperation relevant to the enhancement of graduates’ employability.
