BA in Aviation Safety Management
Course Overview
The BA in Aviation Safety Management is a full honours-level undergraduate degree in aviation safety management, delivered over 36 months with top-up routes available for Higher Diploma holders. It combines the strategic, commercial and human disciplines of a full honours-level aviation-safety grounding for travel graduates with a live industry placement and dissertation project. Cohorts include A-Level and IB leavers, Higher Diploma holders topping up and international applicants converging their overseas qualifications to a UK framework.
You will graduate able to read a safety-management system, contribute to a safety investigation and defend a safety improvement plan to airline or airport leaders. The Bachelor is written to prepare you for the graduate-programme conversations run by major UK and international hospitality employers, so every module produces evidence you can put in front of a recruiter.
Key Features
- Structured study aligned with recognised UK and international hospitality bodies including the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)
- Curriculum written by former luxury hospitality practitioners with real experience of aviation safety management

Alongside these features the BA in Aviation Safety Management is written to keep your learning connected to real hospitality practice. Modules include cohort discussion, case-based coursework and structured feedback, so you leave with a portfolio of evidence covering aviation safety management rather than just a certificate on a wall.
