Course summary
Why study this course? Our Airline, Airport and Aviation Management (including foundation year) BSc (Hons) degree is a four-year course with a built-in foundation year (Year 0) that has been designed with input from senior aviation managers. It is the ideal start to university if you’re interested in studying airline, airport and aviation management but don’t meet the entry requirements for the three-year undergraduate degree programme. Our business and management courses are ranked first for teaching satisfaction in the Guardian University Guide 2024.e. More about this course The foundation year is a tailored programme that kick-starts your university education. It will help you to settle into university life, grow your confidence, and build the academic skills you’ll need for success throughout your degree. As a broad, multidisciplinary course rooted in the social sciences, the foundation year covers themes such as identity, inequality and social justice, while focusing on practical skills like academic writing, presentation and critical thinking. Your learning will be supported by tutors through interactive classes, online resources, workshops and one-to-one guidance. You’ll also take part in six lecture or seminar sessions with the team from your chosen course, giving you a taste of your subject area. In the following three years of your degree you will focus more heavily on aviation, studying the same course content and having the same choice of modules as those who study our Airline, Airport and Aviation Management BSc (Hons) degree. Our teaching staff are well connected within the aviation industry, allowing you to learn from experts in your field of interest. This course shares its foundation year with a number of our other foundation year degrees, allowing you to share ideas across a wide range of business disciplines. If, following your foundation year, you decide to specialise in a different business-related subject, there is flexibility to allow you to do this. You will graduate with a full undergraduate degree with the same title and award as those who study the traditional three-year course. In Year 2 or 3 you’ll be required to complete a work-related learning module, as students graduating with work experience are more likely to get into the career they want. The University will advertise suitable opportunities and provide guidance on completing the application process, but we can’t guarantee you a work placement.
