Thank you so much Seabreeze and Altimeters.
I agree the UNSW looks the better program, I was just worried that my chances of getting in would be slim as I have no work experience in the field, Swinburne and RMIT seem to have a more lax entry requirement. It's also in the group of 8 which is a drawcard, most definitely.
I did try and call Jamie Lim late last week and am waiting on a reply from her. I do like that the UNSW program let's you choose your own subjects but am a little apprehensive about that as I've not had a chance to find out exactly which areas I'd like to specialise in, with my background it makes sense to stick with the Strategic/Economic/Operational modules but a few others appeal, such as Safety Management Systems and Air Traffic etc.
I would definitely begin with AVIA5009 & probably AVIA5005.
The Swinburne course guides read as if there is no exam component, when I called them the co-ordinator I spoke to seemed to think this was correct, but it seemed as if they didn't know too much about the program - did you look into the assessments as well, Seabreeze?
Thanks again!
