MSc Luftfahrtsicherheit

The development and maintenance of effective security management have a pivotal role to play in all areas of the aviation sector – with a continually evolving and dynamic threat and risk landscape bringing constant and moving challenges.

In cooperation with the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO), this MSc in Aviation Security allows you to explore and develop theories and methodologies to mitigate these risks and consider and analyse the future of safe and secure aviation.

By working together, Buckinghamshire New University and ICAO aim to realise the needs of the aviation industry for qualified and knowledgeable aviation security professionals through the creation and promotion of learning that is accessible by mature professionals and the next generation.

Gain insight into a unique sector

Keeping air travellers, cargo, aircraft and company employees safe extends far beyond simply screening passengers and their baggage.

This master’s analysis evaluates and develops the multi-layered and interconnected processes involved in security management in the high-risk and technology-dependent world of aviation. By doing so, the programme seeks to develop confident, capable, analytical and knowledgeable security management professionals for now and into the future.
