Aviation & Hospitality
Explore non-engineering and operational careers across airlines, airports, aviation services, customer experience, hospitality, ground operations, travel and aviation management.
The Aviation & Hospitality pathway focuses on the operational, service and customer-facing side of aviation rather than aircraft engineering. It includes airlines, airports, ground handling, passenger services, aviation operations, hospitality, travel and service management.
Students can enter through aviation management, airport management, hospitality, tourism, travel, business or specialist aviation programmes. Employers also recruit graduates from broader disciplines where communication, operations and customer-service capabilities are strong.
Career progression can lead from operational roles into supervision, station management, airport operations, service management and broader airline leadership.
