Department of Aviation Management

Hello, I'm Instructor Esma Görkem ERSOY. I am the head of the Department of Aviation Management at the Faculty of Business and Management Sciences. The aviation industry is a versatile, dynamic and global industry. In fact, the aviation management department includes companies serving in this sector; that is the management of airlines, airports and other related organizations under the same roof. It is among our goals to train students who are well-equipped for this and who also have a good command of jargon in the professional sense. It is a department that combines information about both aviation and Business and Management. Our students start with common courses in their first year at the Faculty of Business and Management Sciences. We aim to lay a solid foundation by starting with introductory courses in aviation management. They take courses such as ground services, passenger services, meteorology, which provide more in-depth information regarding the sector. English is our focus in the 3rd year, we have an Aviation English course and they also benefit from an elective course pool that includes all important courses related to the field. In the 3rd and 4th grades, they complete their training by learning even more in-depth information. Our students can find a job after graduating in any aviation-related company. They have this opportunity both nationally and internationally. In airlines, airports, ground services, passenger services, OCC (Operation Control Center), and this is now how they will shape their career plans afterward. They graduate from our university as knowledgeable and professional workers. Candidates who will choose Aviation Management must first have a passion for aviation. It will be beneficial for them to do research and learn current information about the sector with this passion. Developing their English skills will make them feel a little more comfortable here. We will of course teach them the aviation jargon, and all relevant information to them later on, but it would be more beneficial for them to come with a dynamic perspective, and as curious individuals. I wish success to all candidates who will take the university exam. We welcome all candidates with a passion for aviation to Istanbul Esenyurt University, Faculty of Business and Management Sciences, Aviation Management.
