Question
Sir,
I'm presently pursuing my Electronics and Instrumentation Degree and have a keen interest in the aviation industry.

I want to pursue a post graduation degree in avionics or aviation management. But am not sure about how to go about it.

Could you please tell me about the prospects of each degree, and what are the requirements for the same. Also could you suggest me a few good universities offering these courses.

I'm interested in not only the technical but also the management part of aviation.

Kindly advise me on how to go about it.

In anticipation of your reply.

Answer
Hi,

Thanks for your questions, I will try to assist!

First of all, I am not aware of any post graduate school offerings in Avionics.

As far as Aviation Management and related programs, you might check the following:

Daniel Webster College, Nashua, New Hampshire, USA offers an MBA in Aviation

Embry Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, Florida and Prescott, Arizona, USA, offers several masters degrees in aviation including an MBA in Aviation and a Masters in Aviation Safety.

Middle Tennessee State University and Florida Institute of Technology both offer masters degrees in Airport Management and Planning

Southern Illinois University Carbondale and University of Nebraska at Omaha both offer Master of Public Administration degrees in Aviation Administration

I hope that this list of schools and their offerings will be of assistance.  As for the prospects in each area, you need to ask that question of each school as you apply for information about the respective degree program.

Best wishes,
