Air Transport Management - Open University?
Hi All,
Are there any Uni's in the UK that are offering the Air Transport Management course as an Open Course (ie; studying at home, rather than uni)?
If not, are there any other courses within the UK that are Open University?
Cheers,
/S

Why dont you train at oxford to become a pilot? Then you get an airtransport management foundation degree too!
Then you have two skills for the price of one!!! (all be it an expensive price!!)

I have a stable job at the moment at a major FBO, and I've not really got the £60k+ needed to pay for it!
That's why I wanted to do an Open Uni course, so I can do it in my own time - and still work!

Why have you always wanted to do an Air Transport Management degree? That will seriously affect any answer. Is it doing the degree, something you want to study from outside or do you actually expect it to be of any help in getting a job?
City University offers an ATM degree. You show up for 3 days for each course or "module" as they call it and then spend the next 6 weeks doing your homework. Lots of fun and very interesting. www.city.ac.uk/atm if memory serves, but you will find it.
Actually felt sad when I graduated.

Thanks for the link.
So a normal Integrated course lasts 60 weeks so for just an extra 7 weeks you get a degree!

Most of us with real degrees hate the fact that these things are called "degrees" - although without doubt they serve a useful function.

Just for those unfamiliar...
(Post A-level or equivalent)
Foundation degree = 1 academic year full time study [fts]
Bachelors degree = 3(+) academic years fts
Master of Engineering = 4(+) academic years fts
Master of Science = Bachelors or Masters degree + 1 calendar year fts
Doctorate = good Bachelors degree, or average Masters degree + 3 years(plus!) fts.

Air Transport Management
The City University course is certainly interesting and I too would not mind taking it on, however the price of £8300 is somewhat steep for an MSc.
