      More specifically, what is a PhD in Civil Aviation? This degree aims to arm you with the cognitive research skills to advance the field of aviation. Within this field are a few subfields, including operations, aviation safety, human factors and interdisciplinary. Due to the technical nature of these subfields, an aviation PhD requires more work than most, with a course load of usually two or more courses per term. Your research and coursework will be closely monitored by an advisor, who will help lead you to a thesis topic.

      During this PhD program, you may learn skills useful for everyday life. These include organization, special awareness and determination. With these skills, you can save time, be more aware of potential collisions and have both the energy and the drive to solve complex problems.

      Budgeting for a PhD requires knowing what kind of financial aid you can earn. Since this degree demands full-time study, it may be impossible to have a job at the same time. A stipend or fellowship can help cover book costs, tuition and other fees.

      With a PhD, you are highly qualified for and knowledgeable about many jobs within aviation. It is common to continue researching after completing a PhD, either as part of a research and development team or within academia. Some job titles in industry you can search for include airport operations coordinator, aviation project manager, senior engineer and staff civil engineer.
