Summary
**Why choose this course**
Air transport is intrinsically linked to global economic prosperity. Before the COVID pandemic, more than four billion people travelled by air annually and air travel grew at over five per cent a year. The air transport business environment is rapidly changing, and the industry requires access to advanced and comprehensive knowledge, combined with an in-depth understanding of its requirements.
Our Air Transport Management MSc will provide you with this knowledge and understanding, equipping you with the multiple skills and expertise that are required to succeed in the ever-evolving business of air transport.
You’ll benefit from our pioneering research and industry analysis, as well as our unique proximity to Heathrow and Gatwick airports, that serve over 120 global airlines. This has allowed us to develop outstanding links with the industry, resulting in numerous high profile guest speakers delivering engaging and stimulating lectures to our students.
Graduates from this course include pilots, air traffic controllers and aeronautical engineers.
The School was ranked 1st for tourism, transport, travel and heritage studies in the Complete University Guide 2024, 1st in the UK and 2nd in the world by the Shanghai Global Ranking of Academic Subjects 2022, 1st in the UK and 15th in the world by QS World University Rankings by Subject 2023 and 4th in the UK for hospitality, leisure and tourism in The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2023.
**What you will study**
Our MSc in Air Transport Management is well-designed and intellectually challenging to equip you with the skills and the knowledge required for employment.
Throughout your studies, you’ll learn about the fundamental aspects of air transport management, as well as analyse and debate theoretical and applied knowledge. You’ll also learn about the operation and organisation of airlines and airports and the latest technology.
This is the only air transport management course in the UK that will allow you the opportunity of using all three commercial software packages used by industry analysts and consultants as well as airlines and airports today: OAG, IATA AirportIS and Cirium (Flightglobal). These tools are essential for analysing airline market data and will give you a competitive edge with employers.
You’ll produce a dissertation that researches a specialist topic, chosen by yourself, which will lead to an in-depth knowledge of this subject.
In a rapidly evolving sector, we are committed to maintaining the relevance of the content. Our modules, reflecting current industry needs and research focus, may adapt in response to emerging themes and external shifts. This adaptability allows us to improve the learning experience, and align with feedback from students and with guidelines from external industry consultation groups.
