Aviation Management
Programme Outline
The BAvMan degree is specially designed to provide essential knowledge in business and resource management with specific reference to aviation. Special emphasis is placed on the discussion of key concepts and issues in management, human factors and technology, and their application to aviation. The degree would be beneficial for those already in the aviation industry planning to move into management positions or those who want to join the aviation industry, such as airline, airport and aerospace companies.
The Bachelor of Aviation Management degree is jointly organised by SAA and Massey University, a State University of New Zealand.
