A new Hamilton-based pilot training course is offering potential pilots the opportunity to get a university degree as well as a pilot's license.
CTC Aviation is partnering with the University of Waikato to develop a flying degree.
CTC Aviation chief operating officer Peter Stockwell says they're trying to create a unique opportunity for pilots.
"For those who want to have the benefit of a high level tertiary qualification, but also want to gain the necessary licences and qualifications to become professional pilots."
He says they're aiming to focus the program around flight operations, to train airline pilots as well as flight instructors.
