Programme content

Fundamentals of mathematics and natural sciences

You acquire the necessary basic knowledge of the natural sciences through the study of mathematics, physics, informatics, chemistry and materials science.

Subject-specific fundamentals

You acquire a solid knowledge of fundamentals that prepares you for your subject-specific education and your later career. These include knowledge of flight operation and performance, air traffic management, air law, meteorology,  human factors, aerodynamics, navigation, and electrical engineering.

Subject-specific specialisation

These modules enable you to specialise in subject-specific areas which you are likely to encounter in your future career. You may concentrate on the fields of "Technics & Engineering" (topics include certification, maintenance and repair, airport systems, air traffic control technology) or "Operation & Management" (topics include security, safety, and risk management, airport processes, trends and developments in aviation, national and international aviation authorities, flight operation, air traffic management, air transport economics).
If you choose to concentrate on "Operation & Management", the special studies required to qualify as an airline pilot or an air traffic controller may be started during the degree programme. In your project assignments and undergraduate dissertation you carry out application-oriented research and development projects in teams including lecturers and external partners.

General education requirements

Throughout your studies we ensure that you gain broad competence in non-technical subjects. Communicative competence in English and German are vital, as are a degree of expertise in management, law and business administration. Through group tasks, project work and your undergraduate dissertation, you will acquire thorough and practically relevant training in project and quality management.
