About Air and Space Law

While the aviation and space industries have taken off, the non-technical aspects of it have gained prominence only in recent years. Offered by the top law institutes in India, the specialisation can be opted for majorly at the postgraduate level.

Air and Space Law is quite a complex subject that can only be studied by a collaborative effort in knowledge production in the topics like security and safety laws, liability issues, environment, air route structures, regulation of air services and bilateral air agreements, and so on. 

Apart from it being a unique field of law, Air and Space Law open multiple job opportunities. These may include working in internationally operating law firms, civil aviation, telecommunications organisations and governmental organisations like ISRO. Not to mention the attractive internship opportunities at NASA that an Air and Space Law course comes with.

Dear student,

The course of Post Graduate Diploma in Law (PGD in Law) is not offered at Apex University, Jaipur. The university provides law programmes of the undergraduate and postgraduate levels only. If you meet the eligibility criteria for the programmes of LL.B or LL.M at Apex University then you can apply for admission to these programmes instead.

If you seek a good law college in Rajasthan that offers PGD in Law, you can check out Raffles University which is located in Neemrana. There are other law institutes in Rajasthan that prove diploma in law and are quite recognised and popular.

In order to find the best college for yourself, fill the Common Application Form (CAF) and get a chance to apply at multiple colleges with just one form. Upon the successful submission of the form, you will also be assigned an admissions expert who will contact you and understand all of your requirements.
