An MS in Aviation Management is a two-year postgraduate degree covering the business and operations of aviation — airline operations, airport management, aviation safety and air transport economics.
What You’ll Study
Coursework covers aviation industry economics, airline operations and network planning, airport management and capacity, aviation safety management systems, aviation law and regulation, air cargo and logistics, and revenue management.
MS, MSc or MPhil?
Pakistani universities use several titles for the two-year postgraduate degree following a four-year bachelor’s, and HEC treats them as equivalent 18-year qualifications. What matters practically is whether the programme is thesis-based, since that governs readiness for doctoral study.
Career Scope in Pakistan
Aviation is heavily regulated and operationally specialised, so people who understand its particular requirements are not readily substituted by general management graduates. Graduates work in airline operations and planning, airport management, aviation regulatory bodies, air cargo and freight, aviation safety and quality roles, and aircraft leasing and support services.
Aviation safety management is a regulated function rather than a discretionary one, which makes it comparatively reliable employment. The field also operates to broadly common international standards, and Gulf aviation hubs are significant employers of Pakistani aviation professionals.
Admission Requirements
A relevant 16-year degree, plus the university’s postgraduate admission test and interview. Many programmes run in evening formats suited to working professionals.
