I think this timetable is from last year but it doesn't hurt to have a look.

Yeah it looks good, about 25 hours a week isn't too bad.

Have you managed to track down the books?

I haven't, no. According to the orientation schedule, we get them on Tuesday 16th. I'd love to know them before that though..

If you go here and click into each module it will give you the books for that module from last year. Most of them are older editions so I can't see them changing much this year.

Hardly any have ISBNs so they're not easy to find.

I kinda wanted to put it down on my CAO but decided against it. I'll be joining the Aviation Soc though! What about you?

wolfpac

Applied Language and Translation Studies anyone?

Hey Nimr

I do plan on joining the aviation soc. After 15 years of school doing anything but aircraft related stuff and being surrounded by people who had absolutely no interest in aviation I certainly can't wait to meet like minded people
