A 6-week course with the most advanced topics in Aviation Law: Regulation, Actors and Control Systems” 

The impulse and development of air transport has led in recent decades to establish an international regulatory framework to regulate this activity, its management in areas such as economic or environmental, which has a direct impact on the operation of the sector. A legal framework that the engineering professionals must know in order to be able to implement and design projects that respect the current legislation or adapt each project to it. 

A learning that will be much easier to acquire thanks to this Postgraduate certificate in Aviation Law: Regulation, Actors and Control Systems created by TECH to provide students with a solid knowledge in this area from a comprehensive and dynamic agenda. 

It is, therefore, an excellent opportunity to master the subject that articulates the liberalization of air transport services, airport management or the different rights and duties that affect all actors involved in this industry. A study plan that is completed with innovative pedagogical material based on video summaries, videos in detail, specialized readings and case studies. 

In addition, the graduates will not have to dedicate long hours to study and memorization, since the Relearningmethod of this teaching will lead them to consolidate the most important concepts in a simple way throughout the 6 weeks of duration of this program.  

A unique opportunity to obtain a quality university education, with a flexible and comfortable content. Students only need a digital device with an Internet connection (cell phone, tablet or computer) to be able to visualize the syllabus at any time. Thus, without classroom attendance, or classes with a restricted schedule, the future engineers will have greater freedom to self-manage their time to take this academic option.
