With the number of global airline passengers set to grow at an annual rate of 4.7% per year between now and 2030, it’s safe to say that the aviation industry is booming. This presents extensive job opportunities for professionals already working in the sector or those keen to move into it. Graduates of the MSc in Management (Aviation Leadership) will have have a distinct advantage over other candidates for management/leadership positions as a result of the specialist training and insights they acquire through the programme.
Part-time students on the programme only need to be on campus for two days per month in the academic terms (eight months of the year), which makes it easy to continue full-time employment and apply your newfound knowledge in the workplace. Full-time students of the programme need to be in the campus for 4 days per month in the academic year and can complete the course within one year.
DCU Business School is conveniently located only 15 minutes from Dublin Airport, which is also very handy for those already employed by the many aviation companies based there. Nearly 50 airlines now operate out of Dublin Airport and, with over 190 direct routes, it is one of the most well-connected aviation hubs in Europe. These are just some of the reasons you should study the MSc in Management (Aviation Leadership)

Ireland is now home to Europe’s largest airline, Ryanair and many of the world’s top aircraft leasing and maintenance companies. With these opportunities, students can benefit hugely from participating in this course.” – Adrian Dunne, Director of Operations, Ryanair
