Programme description and objectives

A report by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) indicates that global demand for civilian pilots will reach more than half a million by 2044. In addition, data from the same organization says the number of airline customers is expected to reach a record 4.7 billion by 2024. 

Thus, the aviation sector is currently developing extremely rapidly. 

  • Become a pilot
    During your studies, you will learn the theory and practice necessary to obtain the ATPL (A) airline pilot license. Practical classes are held on professional flight simulators, such as Airbus A320 or Diamond DA-42, which were designed specifically with the aim of training students.
  • And become a lawyer
    During the studies, we also focus on the legal aspects of civil aviation both in the EU and worldwide. This knowledge will allow you to pursue the profession of a pilot in the future, but also prepare you to work in many aviation-related institutions.
  • Why? 
    As a result of unfortunate events or sudden deterioration of health, pilots can face the challenge of not being able to fully excel at their dream job. We have designed the program with the aim of protecting our students in case of unforeseen life situations.

The Aviation Law and Professional Pilot License course is your ticket to an international career. During your studies, you will gain knowledge in the field of law, as well as gain access to a course that prepares you to pass the exams necessary to obtain an Air Transport Pilot License (or ATPL, which allows you to work as a pilot for airlines).
