New pilots in China will soon be taking to the air a little more educated as they will be able to obtain two bachelor's degrees from both military school and university in a new dual program planned.
Â
The program aims to churn out 87 pilots from Peking, Tsinghua and the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, along with participating military schools.
Â
Candidates will be selected based on their performance at the National College Entrance Examination and medical checkups, said a statement jointly issued by Ministry of Education and the People's Liberation Army.
Â
Military schools will train students to be qualified pilots, while they can also catch up with alternative studies and campus life at universities in the four-year program.
Â
Tsinghua University will take in 32 students, Peking 25, and Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics 30.
