Introduction
Our multidisciplinary course will focus on giving you a firm academic base in the core disciplines of aviation management, with a particular focus on the international business setting. It will help you develop an understanding of the global business environment in which airlines and airports operate through the study of economics, human resources, marketing and finance.
Integral to this course is the development of essential skills and knowledge necessary to become a high-ranking aviation professional in a number of possible career routes, including airline operations management, engineering management and airline strategy. Our lecturers have excellent links with members of the aviation community and they’re perfectly placed to offer you career advice specific to the sector.
We place emphasis on advancing your decision-making skills on an operational, international and strategic level. Although you’ll specialise in airline, airport and aviation management, the course will also equip you with transferable skills that are necessary for a career in international business management. These skills are developed through engagement with real-life and virtual business challenges, providing you with the opportunity to study core aspects of management and leadership that are relevant in business.
You’ll have the opportunity to visit major international airlines, airports and commercial aircraft manufacturers. Our location places us close to UK headquarters of a number of leading aviation companies, such as Boeing and Bombardier, and a short distance from all major London airports such as Gatwick, Heathrow, London City, Luton and Stansted. Owing to our location and links with the industry, we often welcome visiting lecturers from airlines, airports, maintenance organisations, consultancy organisations and aircraft manufacturers.
Our dynamic Aviation Society will introduce you to university life, organise regular trips and invite guest speakers to the University. Our top priorities are educational resources and the quality of teaching. In addition to the University’s extensive facilities and resources, you’ll have access to database services, aviation journals and magazines appropriate to aviation management studies.
Graduating with work experience will make you more likely to get into your desired career. Therefore we’ll provide you with the opportunity to undertake practical and career-enhancing modules as part of your studies. In Year 2 or 3 you can study our work-related learning module and the University will advertise suitable opportunities and provide guidance. However, please note that we can’t guarantee you work experience.
