Depends what sort of hours you work. If you were doing 9-5 and had no chance of doing study during work time, I would only do one course/semester. If you only work (fly) 12-14 days per month, or spend most of your office time on FB or solitaire, then two subjects is achievable.
Best option - enroll in one, and judge the commitment for yourself. You can always take on more work...

Hi Tarmac12,
I found that 1 per semester was enough if working full time. There are some half units and I tried 1.5 a couple of times but this ramps the workload right up and can reduce the quality of your work.
There was a story of someone completing the whole masters program in 18 months full time - not sure if true. I would allow 4 years if you have a job.
Can't recommend the UNSW course highly enough and it certainly accelerated my Airline management career. I found the benefits came even before the qualifiation was obtained as the assigments facilitated interaction leading to opportunities.
Good luck.

Good Advice
Thanks everyone,
I think just one subject for the first semester will be the safe bet. I would love to have to play cards on my laptop to waste away my working day but unfortunately I do have to get out of my chair quite often.
Cheers.

CD,
Good luck with your study. I felt the same way you did/do about a year ago, wanting to be more than someone in the left or right seat pushing the power levers up. I too was given advice to do an MBA or a business degree, but most academic institutions would not accept my application as I did not have relevant experience in that field of study or any degree. And there were no aircraft involved!
I have settled on Newi Uni Masters of Aviation Management, starting in a couple of days.

Hi All,
I undertook a Masters in Aviation Management following the Ansett collapse in 2001. I quickly found that log books and licences weren't really recognised anywhere outside the wonderful, but narrow, job description as a pilot.
I wrote an article on aviation tertiary education a while back, here it is. Careers in Aviation, A Degree of Satisfaction. An Aviation Blog by Owen Zupp.
Personally, it was a very worthwhile experience, but I also recognise that everone's situation is different.
Cheers,
Owen
