    Aviation Management - BA (Hons)

    About

    The BA Aviation Management degree is a dedicated aviation qualification, delivered in conjunction with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University - Worldwide and Cardiff Airport, which seeks to offer a uniquely innovative and exciting programme of study. The target audience are  students eager to find critical perspectives on, and management careers in, the Aviation sector. Students will gain an understanding of all aspects of aviation law, aviation strategic management, aerospace safety, airline management and employment issues relating to aviation.

    The programme will be initially available in full-time mode of study only. The full-time programme is dedicated to ensuring that students receive world class training and education in the latest Aviation Management theories and systems to ensure meaningful employment in the industry post-graduation. The unique, hybrid delivery model of the programme will be a particularly attractive option for students with a keen interest in the industry, as well as people already working within the industry to gain an internationally recognised qualification and to enhance their skills and understanding of the industry as a whole.

    The BA (Hons) Aviation Management aims to: 

    • Equip the aviation sector with innovative and highly skilled aviation management specialists who have the appropriate combination of academic knowledge and practical skills to meet the Industry's current and future needs. 
    • Develop highly skilled graduates capable of adding significant value to companies in the aviation sector. 
    • Develop discipline specific and generic leadership skills that will ensure that our graduates obtain long term and meaningful employment within the sector.

    The modules contained within this innovative course use a wide range of teaching and learning approaches. Modules delivered by Cardiff School of Management will principally consist of classroom-based and situational experiential learning. Classroom-based teaching will be delivered in appropriately equipped spaces. Lecture rooms are supplemented by group discussion, group problem solving exercises, and group games in order to consolidate learning and apply theory to a range of simulated aviation operational environments. Aviation Management students will exist as a part of the wider collective of Cardiff School of Management suite of programmes; as such, they will benefit from being a closely-knit and independent part of a much wider collective. This will give them the best of both worlds: a smaller-scale sense of community, but a large-scale social and study scene.

    In addition to classroom-based learning, CSM modules across all three years of study will take place at Cardiff Airport: in students' first year, the 'Academic and Professional Skills' module will be delivered in Cardiff Airport's classroom facilities and will be taught in conjunction with CSM's employability team, with masterclasses delivered by professionals from various parts of Cardiff Airport's business operations. In their second year, students will undertake a minimum of 20 days' work experience at Cardiff Airport (or an alternative relevant organisation of their choice). This will enable students to contextualise the learning gained from the theoretical phases of the programme and, will provide the necessary 'shop window' to show their skills, knowledge and talents to future employers from within the sector. 

     In their final year, students will undertake an independently-driven academic research dissertation on an aviation topic of their choice, or they could take on an aviation consultancy project, addressing a real-world business issue at Cardiff Airport or elsewhere.

    Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide's  (online) teaching experience is extremely engaging and taught by experienced faculty with industry connections. Students interact with other module participants who can be anywhere in the world, on a frequent basis. Embry-Riddle's teaching includes the innovative use of tools such as virtual labs, as well as a virtual community 'eUnion' where all Embry-Riddle students can network and collaborate on extra-curricular activities. Every Embry-Riddle Worldwide student can access virtual laboratories to experience such features as a virtual crash lab, where students can gather and submit data required for accident investigations. As an ERAU student, you will have access to  Hunt Library resources, as well as invitations to complimentary aviation webinars. Embry-Riddle Worldwide's online degrees have been ranked in the top 5 for 'best online bachelor's degree programmes' for the last 7 years in the national college and university rankings from the US News & World Report. They were awarded the number one position in the 2021 rankings a remarkable achievement which highlights the top-quality management and delivery of their learning material.

    Throughout their time as a BA (Hons) Aviation Management student at Cardiff Metropolitan University, each student will be supported by the allocation of a personal tutor who will provide pastoral support for the student's time on the course. The Programme Director will also provide strategic leadership and direction to the course and will be available to each student who has specific issues regarding course content and structure. The programme will be delivered by experts within their field of study. These will include aviation management specialists as well as operations, logistics and law experts who will impart the latest theories and insights from their respective subject areas.
