About the studies

The specialisation “ESG in Aviation” is the first studies programme in Poland that was created in response to market demand related to the consideration of ESG and sustainability issues in aviation institutions. Responsible business conduct is not only an emphasis of new EU regulations, but above all of contractors, investors, customers and employees. Currently, there is a shortage of specialists in this field on the labour market, and demand will only increase in the coming years. Therefore, the new profession of “ESG specialist” , “Sustainability Officer” or “ESG Manager” is being referred to as the profession of the future!

We have developed an innovative study programme that will provide our graduates with a complementary and up-to-date business knowledge of the aviation sector. Participants will be able to learn what the aviation market looks like from the perspective of aircraft manufacturers, carriers and airports, and in particular what challenges sustainable development will bring for these entities. That is why we have invited key aviation experts to join our lecturers: airport and airline CEOs, lawyers, economists and managers.

Advantages

The studies end with an exam with the possibility of obtaining an ESG Officer certificate from the ESG Institute.

Lecturers are practitioners, experienced specialists in airport operations management.

Students receive organisational and financial support from the Faculty in their first publications and participation in scientific conferences.

Testimonials

A word from a faculty member

It’s my personal pleasure to welcome you to the Aviation Management Program.

Five years ago, Lazarski University decided to start offering specialized education in Aviation. Therefore, the University leadership has launched Lazarski Aviation Academy: a specialized division aiming at offering access to the best professor and the best industry knowledge. Thanks to that decision Lazarski University has become a European reference especially in Aviation Law but also in pilot’s training. It has managed to attract not only teachers but also aviation practitioners and of course aviation enthousiast, sharing their experience while being active managers and teachers at the same time.

Today building on that success we decided to add a full Master of Arts in Aviation Management Program as part of Lazarski Aviation Academy. This great Program will have it first launching edition in 2024 and we are all very keen warmly invite you to join the Master of Arts Aviation Management Program and become part of its success!

Sebastian Mikosz
Aviation Management Program Director

The Aviation Management specialization was created thanks to the cooperation of the Lazarski Aviation Academy with partners such as IATA, LOT Polish Airlines and PGL. During a two-year program, students take classes at Lazarski University in Warsaw, online and practical workshops with IATA experts in Geneva. They can also use our flight simulator free of charge and at any time and integrate during the many events that we organize for them, as well as have the opportunity to fly with an instructor on certified simulators. After graduation, the graduates of the Airline Management program will receive the Lazarski University diploma and the IATA certificate – the most recognizable document in the world that confirms their competence to work in the air transport market.

Students and alumni feedback

I have always been interested in aviation, and my dream has always been to become a pilot. Unfortunately, for various reasons, I was unable to fulfill it, but my fascination with this subject remained. For this reason, I decided to study “Air Traffic Administration”. Specialization subjects provide a wide range of knowledge about aviation and are conducted in a variety of forms, which makes them more interesting. In addition, there are also meetings and talks with representatives of institutions related to aviation, where you can learn a lot of practical information, and this is what makes the studies interesting and gives many opportunities for development.
