Aviation

Description

The School of Aviation in the Faculty of Science offers the degrees of Master of Science (MSc) by research, Master of Philosophy (MPhil), and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) for exceptional students at the postgraduate level in areas relating to aviation. A higher research degree requires the student to focus on a major research project under the supervision of one or two academic supervisors.

Also based within the School of Aviation, Transport & Road Safety (TARS) Research is a research group dedicated to road and transport safety research. It capitalises on the strong research synergies in human factors and transport safety research between the TARS research team and existing researchers in Aviation.

  • Air cargo supply chain
  • Air travel behaviours
  • Airborne remote sensing
  • Airline alliances and partnering
