The master

Program description

Safety and security in global air transport is one of the sector's own strategic objectives.

Every day, more efforts are made to improve aviation safety outcomes through coordinated activities such as monitoring of key safety indicators and trends, safety analysis, policy and standardization initiatives, implementation of programs to address security issues, etc.

With this master's degree, the student will undoubtedly obtain comprehensive training in safety in the aeronautical and airport sector, since, among many other topics, subjects such as Fundamental Aeronautical Concepts, Aircraft Safety, Safety regulations and legislation, Airport security, Human Factors and CRM, Security for Ground Operations, AVSEC (Annex 14, Annex 17...), SMS, as well as specific management training.

This master’s degree is highly recommended for those executives in the air transport sector whose functions are closely linked to safety and security management, management and leadership of human teams, financial management, as well as quality management and control.

As a complement to the theoretical training, the student must conclude the postgraduate course by preparing a final thesis on a topic related to safety/security in the aeronautical and airport sector and especially its management.

The e-learning methodology used is typical of ITAérea, in which live sessions and availability of access to the academic campus are offered 24 hours a day in the time frame that best suits the student.
