Aviation Management & Operations  (with Pilot Studies)

About this programme

We are still accepting applications for September 2022 (beyond the initial UCAS deadline of 26 Jan). Apply now! If you are looking to pursue a career in aviation; you are already employed in the industry, or you have a specific interest in studying independently for a Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL), this course will give you a valuable insight into key aspects of the mandatory knowledge required for a career as a pilot or in-ground operations management. The Foundation Degree in Aviation Management & Operations (with Pilot Studies) has been developed to provide operational knowledge and understanding for those wishing to embark on a career as a pilot or in-ground operations management. So, if you are looking to pursue a career in aviation; you are already employed in the industry, or you have a specific interest in studying independently for a Private Pilot’s Licence (PPL), this course will give you valuable insight into key aspects of the mandatory knowledge required. For those who do choose to study independently for their PPL alongside their Foundation Degree, teaching staff are able to advise about companies who offer the PPL. However, to qualify as a PPL holder, a Class 2 medical certificate issued by a CAA Authorised Medical Examiner (AME) is also required. You can benefit from our connections to local flying schools and our specific aviation skills-based academies and 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
