Unparelled views of the world come rarely.

AMS has truly given me the chance to see things from an aviator's viewpoint; a true master of the sky. From the cockpit to the control tower, AMS shows u everything there is to see about the aviation world. Highly recommended to anyone with even a slight interest in the air above the world..

Come see us at the open house!

Thoughts: Iskandar, Year 2, AMS.

“What is your passion?” For me, my passion lies in aviation and AMS gave me the perfect platform to explore this passion. From the video, I’m sure you can tell that I love the thought of being able to fly (in a plane, of course!). This course also gives us the opportunity to learn on the different components that makes commercial flights possible.

Learning is made much more enjoyable with our great bunch of lecturers. They are simply the best! Honestly speaking, I cannot imagine myself studying elsewhere with a better diploma programme, taught by a better team of lecturers, in a better environment. This is where I wanna be and I am glad I had chosen this path.

AMS as your first choice? You betcha!
