Master in Aviation Management MSc

Tuition costs 17,500 GBP per year.

£400 k has been invested in the Aviation and Tourism Suite, giving students access to a mock-plane cabin, check-in areas and advanced simulation facilities. This dedicated environment allows you to apply theory to realistic airline and airport scenarios from day one.

The aviation sector moves billions of passengers each year and faces ever-changing operational, financial and sustainability challenges. The MSc in Aviation Management explores strategic market analysis, financial decision-making, leadership across cultures and the drive toward net-zero operations, preparing you to influence airlines, airports or aviation consultancies.

Study is centred on a residential overseas live project and, for MSc students, an optional three- or six-month placement that builds practical experience. A range of optional modules lets you tailor your learning to interests such as event strategy, digital marketing or risk management, while the programme benefits from industry-approved input as an ITT Centre of Excellence.
