Programme overview
The ongoing liberalization of markets, rapid technological changes, digitalization and the establishment of new business models in aviation raise new questions related to theory and practice. Current and future developments in aviation are thereby shaped by the industry actors and structures, in short, the Aviation System.
To lead your company or department efficiently from a systemic management point of view, a deeper understanding of the industry and all actors on a global scale is essential for aviation managers. The diploma encompasses 5 courses offered by the University of St.Gallen, and 3 electives offered by IATA, which will enable you to explore and analyze topics in-depth, ranging from aviation systems and revenue management to sustainability and change management.
You will become a trusted leader by gaining greater knowledge on the global aviation industry as a whole and the crucial regulations and their impact on business strategies and operations. Frameworks for quality & safety management, as well as for auditing processes will help you and your companies to comply with these regulations.
The Diploma of Advanced Studies is offered in cooperation between University of St. Gallen and International Air Transport Association. The program content is delivered by academic and industry leading lecturers from HSG and IATA.
Successful completion of DAS-GATM earns you 30 credits (ECTS), which can be partially applied and transferred to other university programs, including Executive MBA at HSG.
