Course Overview
The BA in Airport Logistics Management is a full honours-level LSAAM programme running three years, with top-up routes available for Higher Diploma holders, integrating strategic business, commercial and operational study across airline management & services.

By graduation from the BA in Airport Logistics Management you will hold placement experience with a UK aviation employer, a full dissertation-level research portfolio and the strategic vocabulary needed for graduate-scheme and department-manager routes.

Cohorts on the BA in Airport Logistics Management join a wider LSAAM student community that spans all four LSAAM departments and every study level, so peer learning is drawn from cabin, ramp, terminal, commercial, safety and executive-track student experience.
