PURPOSE

The air transport system is an inherently multidisciplinary field, where technical and organizational skills are needed to face both normal operation and developmental programs.
Today, commercial aviation is experiencing a significant growth at a global level. All major players in the system, including airlines, handling and airport management companies, as well as regulators and supervisory agencies, will need to cope with this trend, relying on highly skilled professionals with an excellent technical qualification in aeronautics and a deep knowledge of the processes typical to the air transport system, from the global picture to the innermost components.
The proposed Master Course will allow the participants to develop a complete knowledge of the air transport system in its multiple aspects, by means of a structured theoretical approach well suited for engineers, followed by a practical internship period with the tuition of experienced industry staff. Following an initial set of common modules, each student will have the opportunity to take a second set of modules arranged in two distinct tracks, according to his or her interests. An internship of a minimum of 4 months in a qualified organization will be provided to all the participants.
At the end of the Course, the participants will have gained a good familiarity with the field of air transport, which will constitute a primary asset for a successful job application in the field, easing their transition from the academic world to the job market.
