Exciting projects – right from the start!
On the dual Bachelor’s degree programme in Aviation Management, you will gain an understanding of the various sectors of the aviation industry and prepare for roles with airlines, airports, air traffic control organisations and other companies in the sector.
Here’s what you can expect:
- A small, international environment: You’ll study in small groups in English, the language of the aviation industry.
- Practical experience: You will deepen and consolidate your theoretical knowledge through day-to-day work at your partner organisation.
- Choices: You can choose from a wide range of compulsory elective modules or spend a semester at one of our partner universities abroad.
We cooperate with a wide range of partner companies to help you get started in the aviation industry.
Right from the start, you’ll gain practical experience in exactly the fields you’d like to work in later on.
Course content
The programme is divided into four areas that combine theory, practical experience and individual specialisms.
The programme begins with the General Management Modules. Here, you will learn the fundamentals of business administration, methods and key skills. This broad foundation also opens up career opportunities outside the aviation industry.
The Aviation Management modules introduce you to the world of aviation. You will explore topics such as aviation law, sustainability, airport and airline management, logistics, digitalisation and tourism. At the end of the programme, you will apply everything you have learnt in a business simulation and make real decisions as part of a team.
In the ‘Management in Practice’ modules, you’ll gain practical work experience at your partner company. You’ll then present your experiences to the group and discuss them together, so that everyone benefits from each other’s wealth of experience. You can also study this degree programme without a fixed partner organisation.
In the compulsory elective section, you’ll choose from a changing range of modules, such as ‘Introduction to Air Traffic Management’ or ‘Professional Airport Management’. This allows you to set your own areas of specialisation.
The programme culminates in a Bachelor’s thesis, in which you integrate concepts from General Management and Aviation Management.
