MSc in Airport Revenue Systems


Course Overview

The MSc in Airport Revenue Systems is a research-informed postgraduate programme running 12 to 18 months, aligned with executive practice in airline management & services and delivered by former airline, airport and aviation-consultancy practitioners. The programme concentrates on postgraduate executive practice across airport revenue-management strategy and commercial systems, so every module is grounded in the way UK airlines, London airports and international aviation employers actually work. Learning outcomes are mapped to the vocabulary of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the Royal Aeronautical Society (RAeS) and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), giving your study credible external reference points from the first week of the MSc in Airport Revenue Systems.

By completion of the MSc in Airport Revenue Systems you will have delivered a dissertation-level piece of aviation research, briefed senior stakeholders on a strategic aviation question and moved into executive, consultancy or board-facing aviation roles. You will develop a research-informed executive voice, chair simulated board-level briefings and complete a full dissertation or capstone project on a strategic aviation question aligned with recognised professional-body vocabulary. Study reflects the cadence of a real executive role, from monthly board packs to quarterly strategic reviews. Study is delivered by former airline, airport and aviation-consultancy practitioners, with structured tutor support, live cohort discussion, case-based learning and applied assessment tasks that reflect the real cadence of UK aviation work.
