Why study Aviation and Air Transport Management with us?

What our students say…

The staff members that I encountered were warm, welcoming and supportive of my studies. The relatively small size of the University’s postgraduate school created a close family/communal environment for both staff and students. This provided a good support system as I could quickly grow acquainted with the postgraduate team and other Doctoral research candidates.

World-leading Research

The University of West London has been recognised by the Government's Research Excellence Framework (REF) for its exceptional research work.

During the aircraft turnaround process, the main source of emissions is the APU. The use of the APU can be significantly reduced if the aircraft stand is equipped to supply external electrical power and pre-conditioned air to the cabin.

With academic staff with extensive professional experience within a vast array of disciplines, we provide a stimulating and supportive environment where you will benefit from:

• peer feedback and discussion
• a series of master classes and lectures from industry figures
• support by a supervisor and a second supervisor suited to your project.

Doctor of Philosophy in Aviation Management Dual Qualifications

Doctor of Philosophy in Aviation Management Dual Qualifications (By Research) 2 Doctor's qualifications from Switzerland and Croatia

This program combines theoretical knowledge with practical insights, preparing learners to tackle the complex challenges facing the aviation sector.

Adopting a ‘by research’ mode, learners will initiate their research journey from the beginning, which comprises two stages:(1) The phase of studying research-oriented courses to define the research direction and grasp scientific research methods, and;(2) The phase of conducting research and formulating the doctoral dissertation, with an emphasis on career-oriented approaches under the guidance of faculty member.
