hey guys - sorry for lack of replies, i dont have internet at home at the mo. PM's might be best if you have any questions i dont manage to answer.
Although I didnt get the grades for loughborough from my a-levels, persausion and begging did work. if you have a few years work experience behind you, that can often make up for more than a-level results.
The course itself has provided a good background in all things airport,airline, and also some in road haulage and shipping - they like to give you an all round view of transport, logistics is in there as well. I've found its complimented my working life nicely, but there is nothing like a good old bit of hands-on experience (a year out working for a cargo charter airline in belgium and at EMA did that for me, flight managing the russian cargo a/c that there.) to help give you a more of a rounded view than what can be taught in the lecture hall.
I feel that my degree has given me an advantage over other people - i have a specialisation and one degree that isnt very common. Bear in mind that this degree is preparing students for aviation management roles, but skills are transferrable.
Bored CounterI dont any details to hand (as im at work and scribbling this!!) but try the UCAS website or
www.lboro.ac.uk for some more details on the course. failing that - pm me with what info you want and i'll get back to you this weekend when i have bit more time
