but can someone please shed some light on the 4 year degree for me? i'm a dual australian and us citizen, and i've got one more year to go in my bachelors degree in health science from the uni of sydney. but in australia, my and many other bachelor degrees are 3 year courses, not 4.
does anyone know if my completion of a 3 year bachelor degree as opposed to a 4 year one will affect my chances of being competitive with the airlines?
any thoughts appreciated guys
I believe that if you have a diploma that says "Bachelor's Degree" that is good enough. Check out some airline web sites and look at their hiring requirements...they usually do not specify 4 years, just the BS/BA.
Naturally they might be suspicious if your degree looks like it came from an online diploma mill or the Lower East Community College of Jamaica, but I think "University of Sydney" sounds authentic enough.
