Aviation Management & Operations

Course summary

This programme focuses on the management of the airport, airline and ancillary businesses, providing you with a broad understanding of this exciting industry and training in the core competencies you will need for a career in aviation management. Based airside at Leeds Bradford Airport, you will study adjacent to an airport that contributes £336m to the local economy each year, which generates 2,350 direct jobs and has 3.6m passengers per annum with strong growth prospects. Many students find employment with Leeds Bradford Airport, whilst others use the airport experience as a basis for global careers. The Aviation Management & Operations FdSc is ideal if you are looking to pursue a career in aviation or if you are already employed in the industry wishing to move into management. You can benefit from our connections to local flying schools and our specific aviation skills-based courses, which provide you with technical skills, knowledge and attitude which enable you to progress into the Aviation industry. Your studies are supported throughout by our partnership with Jet2.com and Jet2holidays and other key organisations including Leeds Bradford Airport. You will be taught through a combination of lectures, guest speakers, visits and seminar sessions, which will be supported through group discussion and activities. Alongside College attendance, you will be expected to undertake 10-12 hours independent study each week such as reading journal articles and books, undertaking research from academic and technical texts and preparing for assessments, presentations or examinations. Your independent study is supported by online resources managed by your module tutors, alongside the Learning Hubs at the Aviation Academy and Aireville Campus and the College’s Study Support Team. The average class size for this course is 15-20. You will receive feedback on your formal assessments within four working weeks of the submission date. Your overall grade for the course and your Foundation Degree classification is based on the marks obtained for the modules studied in year 2 of the course. More information can be found here: Student Information > Regulations (https://www.craven-college.ac.uk/course-search/degrees/student-information/) The course includes Work-Related Learning modules that introduce realistic workplace scenarios and case studies. Students are encouraged to secure placement/s within airlines, airports, flying clubs or ground handling agents to help provide operational context to the classroom-based studies. A Foundation Degree is a nationally recognised qualification in its own right and is equal to the first two years of the full BSc (Hons) course. Once you completed your Aviation Management & Operations FdSc you can progress onto a third and final year to complete the Air Transport Management BSc (Hons).
