The Master’s course in Air Transport Management offers employees in the aviation industry the option of a higher academic qualification. It is designed to prepare participants for senior positions in aviation management, aeronautical engineering companies or engineering offices. The programme also fosters the concept of entrepreneurship and setting up of new businesses.
The course modules cover every relevant area of aviation, including aviation law, airports, airline and maintenance operations, and air traffic control. These subject areas are complemented by modules on business management, science and technology. Safety and environmental aspects are also thoroughly covered.
“The outstanding features of this Master’s course are its exciting mixture of engineering and business content, the high level of training which qualifies graduates to issue technical certificates, and the competence to lead and set up aeronautical businesses.”
