DAU connects law and skies, starts LL.M. in Aviation Law

The programme promises 100% internship and placement support.
Dhirubhai Ambani University – School of Law (DAU SOL) has launched Asia’s first LL.M. in Aviation Law which is spread over three trimesters within one year, and intended to provide exposure to comparitive legal systems and global best practices.
Faculty with world aviation expertise
One of the defining strengths of the DAU SOL programme is its expert teachers.
Our honorary professor and global advisor, Prof (Dr) iur Elmar M Giemulla is one of the world’s leading aviation law experts, who has been part of legal teams and investigations connected with some of the most significant aviation incidents in history - including the 9/11 crash litigation, Malaysian Airlines MH370, Air France 447, and Germanwings. He has also been a founder member of the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA).
International study tour - Learning at airbus in France
A cornerstone of the course is the International Research Tour, an immersive global experience where students travel to France to engage directly with the aviation ecosystem. The visit includes interactions with international regulators, aerospace legal experts, and a rare chance to watch Airbus operations and compliance environments.
A law school envisioned for India’s working workers
DAU SOL was built with a forward-looking mission: to build programmes that enable working professionals to study and work simultaneously. Flexible schedules, research-driven coursework, and industry-immersive learning ensure that professionals do not have to pause their jobs to advance their expertise.
This first-hand exposure improves a student’s understanding of:
international air safety frameworks,
world compliance standards,
cross-border liability problems, and
how air law works inside one of the world’s most advanced aviation hubs.
Such situations transform students from learners into globally aware practitioners.
Strong job outcomes, guaranteed 100% internship and placement support
As aviation law grows rapidly in India, demand for specialised lawyers is growing across:
Top law firms,
Airlines and flying companies,
OEMs and MROs,
Airports,
Compliance and governing bodies, and
International aviation groups.
The programme promises 100% internship and placement support, connecting students with leading businesses within the aviation and legal ecosystem.
Our partnerships and industry networks guarantee each student gets meaningful professional exposure and career pathways aligned with their specialisation.
Why this programme is important to ambitious students?
It opens career opportunities in a domain where very few lawyers currently specialise, providing a competitive advantage.
Students learn from global authorities who have shaped aviation law and examined major crash cases.
The France–Airbus immersion offers international insight unavailable in any other LL.M. in Asia.
Working lawyers can upskill without compromising their current commitments.
The programme’s structure, industry relevance, and placement support make it ideal for students wanting global, future-ready careers.
This is more than an LL.M. it is a launchpad into one of the world’s most complex and high-impact law sectors
