Course Overview

This four-year degree course is designed for students who are passionate about the aviation industry but may not meet the standard entry requirements for a three-year undergraduate programme. The course begins with an intensive foundation year (Year 0), which provides a supportive environment to build your confidence, academic skills, and understanding of social science and business themes. Following this, you will progress into three years of specialised study in airline, airport and aviation management. You will benefit from the institution's strong industry links, with teaching staff who are experts in the field. The course is available as a full-time programme, with part-time options also available. Throughout your studies, you will engage with practical modules, including work-related learning opportunities, to prepare you for a successful career in the global aviation sector. By the end of the course, you will graduate with the same full undergraduate degree as those on the standard three-year route, equipped with the knowledge and professional skills to excel in this dynamic industry.
