Students have been given a warm Welsh welcome, behind the scenes insight into vital day-to-day operations and inspirational talks from Airport colleagues.

The initial course started in September 2022 and provides unparalleled understanding of all aspects of aviation law, aviation strategic management, aerospace safety, airline management and employment issues relating to the industry.

Students benefit from close working relationships with Airport colleagues and work experience modules planned across a variety of areas.

Many students who have studied at the Airport in recent years have documented their time gaining invaluable experience. Some have gone on to secure permanent positions at Cardiff Airport, helping us to provide excellent standards of customer and operational service.
