The Advanced Master’s Programme in Air and Space Law is a combination of public air law, private air law and space law, from both an international and European perspective. The programme which has been running since September 2000, and which was internationally accredited in 2007, is unique in the world. In addition to its international focus, the programme also has a clearly defined European dimension and, without neglecting academic levels, pays specific attention to professional applications through its guest lecturers, excursions and in particular through its internship requirement.
The dynamic nature of the aviation and space sector and the pace in which both sectors expand requires constant attention. In recent years, courses have been restructured to incorporate new developments and challenges these sectors are faced with and to match better with the industry’s needs.
The courses in the programme introduce a wide variety of topics that are taught by the institute’s faculty staff, visiting professors from other countries and distinguished legal practitioners who are experts in their respective specialised fields of air and space law. Intensive interaction between students and teachers is fostered, typically resulting in greater involvement on the side of the students and, consequently, better results. Students gain a solid legal foundation in this exciting field, and those willing to go the extra mile can enrich their study further by tapping into the institute’s resources and network to deepen their knowledge of specific topics and the sector as a whole.
