Key Summary
About: The Master of Science Aeronautics – International Air Transport Operations Management (IATOM) is a two-year MSc accredited by the French Ministry of Education, run by L’École Nationale de l'Aviation Civile (ENAC) with the University of Science and Technology of Hanoi (USTH). Taught entirely in English, it gives international training across aeronautics and air transport operations. Students spend one semester at USTH (Hanoi) and two semesters at ENAC (Toulouse), then complete a final semester internship in Vietnam or another Asian/European country.
Career Outcomes: Graduates move into managers in airlines, airports, aerospace manufacturers, sub-contractors, civil aviation authorities and air navigation providers.
L’École Nationale de l'Aviation Civile (ENAC) (French Civil Aviation University) is the largest aeronautical university in Europe and the only aviation-oriented university in France offering a wide and complete panel of aeronautics-oriented degree bearing programs and continuing & professional education programs, serving the aeronautical world, and particularly the air transport sector.
ENAC in partnership with USTH opened the first Master of Science in International Air Transport Operation Management (IATOM) in Vietnam and in Southeast Asia. IATOM is a two year-degree accredited by the French Ministry of Education for those students who hold a Bachelor's degree in a relevant subject. The courses are taught entirely in English to embed students in an international training environment. The students will study for 1 semester at the USTH campus and the next 2 semesters at the ENAC campus in Toulouse, France. In the final semester, the students will take an internship in Vietnam or any Asian/European country.
The program's objectives
- The MSc IATOM aims at training future high-standard managers in the aviation industry for airlines, airports, aerospace manufacturers and sub-contractors, authorities, and air navigation services providers. The program develops competencies and skills in a large range of fields related to the operations and management of Air Transport Systems.
- The purpose of the MSc IATOM is to deliver advanced knowledge in aeronautics, especially about air transport management systems such as flight management systems, aircraft performance optimization, flight planning, and crew management, airport management, airline costs, and financial analysis, and so on. The program allows learners to maximize managerial potentials and to be well prepared to become great leaders in both local and international contexts.
- Additionally, the program will also provide students a fundamental understanding of aircraft structure, aerodynamics, aircraft design, propulsion system, etc, and cutting-edge programming tools to work in the air transport industry.
An international exposure
- The Air transport industry is a dynamic market with remarkable evolutions over the past 30 years, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region. Accordingly, this industry is generating a huge demand for highly qualified staff in both maintenance and operation.
- Being fully aware of this tremendous need, ENAC is building up a strong international network by fostering mutual cooperation with companies and universities worldwide in the field of aviation, to support the MSc IATOM. Such prestigious partners as HKUST, BEIHANG, ITB, PSUAD, USTH will help ENAC in training future international leaders of the aviation industry, who are able to cope with today's economic and social problems, thus gain success in this competitive and globalized market.
The successful candidates will have the opportunity to receive a scholarship of 8.000 Euros for 2 semesters studying at ENAC. The scholarship will be granted by Airbus through the ENAC Foundation and is deducted from the tuition fees payable to ENAC by students.
