Pregrad. Av. Management Universities?

Hey All,

I'm currently looking at universities to apply to right now, mainly in the UK but also open to any other countries.

Would anyone have any tips about courses related to Aviation Management /Air Transport Management,etc...

I've seen there are quite a lot of univerisites offering such a degree (London Met(Guildhall), Loughborough, City U., Thames Valley, Buckhamshire, etc...).

Anybody study or lecture there and have any comments to point out.

Cheers,
WW

Thumbs up Management or pilot route?

I'm also looking around at universities offering aviation management courses, but I hope to follow the pilot route. The first year's the same irrespective of whether you want to be a pilot or go into aviation management. For me though I think that it's a good idea to have some other qualification other than just an ATPL. I hope you find what you're looking for

well with me being at Leeds Uni i gain a BSc in the subject plus a PPL at a reduced rate.

there is talk of them offering a MSc which will comprise of the ATPL groundschool.

But we`ll see in due course.

If you go London Metro then the PPL and ATPL ground school form part of the degree so you get qualified in Aviation Management and licenced to CPL level at the same time. But you gotta pay the exam entry and flying yourself.

Still, you save about £2500 for the ATPL part.
