Course Overview

Designed in conjunction with senior aviation managers, our Airline, Airport and Aviation
Management BSc degree course recognises the demand in today’s international aviation
community for graduates with sound business skills and a good understanding of the entire
aviation system. Aviation is an exciting industrial sector that ranges from the technological
excellence of aviation engineering to the management of global airlines and airports.

Study, travel and learn. As a student on this course, you will have the opportunity to travel to aviation hubs across the world to gain hands-on experience and learn from industry professionals. Potential destinations include (but are not limited to): Delta Air Lines (Atlanta Airport, Georgia), Gulfstream (Savannah Airport, Georgia), JetBlue Airways (Orlando Airport, Florida), as well as multiple organisations in the UAE such as Emirates, FlyDubai, Etihad, Abu Dhabi Aviation and DC Aviation (a private jet company). While visiting these aviation industry leaders, you will take part in educational sessions covering everything from customer experience and sustainability to air service development and emergency management. You will meet with senior airport leadership and receive tours of the facilities, gaining an insider's perspective on airport operations. By the time you return, you will possess a wealth of experience and knowledge that makes you stand out in the airline and airport management industry.
