Bachelor in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (BACLM062)
Bachelor in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (BACLM062) at LSTH
Air cargo moves the goods that the rest of the supply chain cannot wait for: pharmaceuticals on temperature control, time-critical e-commerce, perishables, AOG aircraft parts, high-value electronics. The Bachelor in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (BACLM062) is built for students who want to work inside that world — not just adjacent to it. Over the degree you look at how shipments are accepted, screened, built up into ULDs, tendered to carriers and tracked through to delivery.
If you already know you want a career on the cargo side of aviation rather than the passenger side, this is a direct route in. The London base also helps: Heathrow remains one of Europe's busiest cargo gateways, and the freight forwarding community around it is substantial.
Why Air Cargo Is a Resilient Specialism
Passenger demand fluctuates with the economy, but cargo tends to hold up because it follows trade flows that move differently — semiconductors, vaccines, fashion replenishment, automotive spares. Operations staff who understand both the airline and the forwarder side of the conversation stay employable. The Bachelor in Air Cargo and Logistics Management (BACLM062) is designed around that operational literacy rather than abstract logistics theory.
Who This Degree Is For
- School leavers who want a focused aviation pathway rather than a general business degree.
- Working ground staff who want to move from passenger handling into cargo operations.
- International students aiming at freight forwarder roles in the UK, Gulf or Asian hubs.
- Career changers from warehousing or road freight wanting an aviation angle.
What Graduates Tend to Do Next
