Our Airline, Airport and Aviation Management (including foundation year) BSc (Hons) degree is a four-year course with a built-in foundation year (Year 0) that has been designed with input from senior aviation managers.

It is the ideal start to university if you’re interested in studying airline, airport and aviation management but don’t meet the entry requirements for the three-year undergraduate degree programme.

The foundation year on our four-year airline, airport and aviation management degree has been designed to allow you to acquire vital business skills and build your confidence as you start your degree.

It will focus on the general principles of business and help you develop effective communication, research and data analysis skills. It is also designed to be an introduction to academic life, preparing you for your subsequent years of study and allowing you to get to grips with various learning styles.

In the following three years of your degree you will focus more heavily on aviation, studying the same course content and having the same choice of modules as those who study our Airline, Airport and Aviation Management BSc (Hons) degree. Our teaching staff are well connected within the aviation industry, allowing you to learn from experts in your field of interest.

This course shares its foundation year with a number of our other foundation year degrees, allowing you to share ideas across a wide range of business disciplines.

If, following your foundation year, you decide to specialise in a different business-related subject, there is flexibility to allow you to do this.

You will graduate with a full undergraduate degree with the same title and award as those who studied the traditional three-year course.

In Year 2 or 3 you’ll be required to complete a work-related learning module, as students graduating with work experience are more likely to get into a career they want. The University will advertise suitable opportunities and provide guidance on completing the application process, but we can’t guarantee you a work placement.

In addition to the University's standard entry requirements, you should have:

• at least one A level (or a minimum of 40 UCAS points from an equivalent Level 3 qualification, eg BTEC Subsidiary/National/BTEC Extended Diploma)
• English Language GCSE at grade C/4 or above (or equivalent)

If you're a mature student with significant work experience, you can apply for this course based on the knowledge and skills you've developed through your professional career to date.

To study a degree at London Met, you must be able to demonstrate proficiency in the English language. If you require a Tier 4 student visa you may need to provide the results of a Secure English Language Test (SELT) such as Academic IELTS. For more information about English qualifications please see our English language requirements.

If you need (or wish) to improve your English before starting your degree, the University offers a Pre-sessional Academic English course to help you build your confidence and reach the level of English you require.

You will be assessed during your foundation year in a variety of ways including group work, coursework, presentations and portfolios. You will be assessed using similar methods in your subsequent three years of study but will also complete a research project of 8,000 words.
