Bachelor’s degree including an air traffic controller’s licence
On the dual Bachelor’s degree programme in Air Traffic Management, you will combine training as an air traffic controller with a degree in business administration. Worms University of Applied Sciences offers this programme in partnership with DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH.
What you can expect:
- Dual qualification: You will simultaneously obtain a Bachelor’s degree and an air traffic controller’s licence.
- A broad range of skills: Your Bachelor of Science degree will open up career paths for you beyond the traditional role of an air traffic controller.
- Practical experience from the outset: Even whilst studying, you’ll work in the commercial department of DFS and undertake your training at the Air Traffic Control Academy in Langen.
Einzige Ausbildungsstelle für Flulotsinnen und Fluglotsen in Deutschland
Der Studiengang findet in Kooperation mit der DFS Deutsche Flugsicherung GmbH statt. Die DFS ist die einzige Institution in Deutschland, die Fluglotsinnen und Fluglotsen ausbildet.
Secure prospects
The dual study programme in Air Traffic Management leads you straight into a role in the control tower or air traffic control centre as an air traffic controller with our partner, DFS. But your career path is far from over there. Experienced air traffic controllers often go on to take on more senior roles, such as supervisors, trainers for the next generation, or positions in specialised areas within DFS. In principle, any air traffic controller can follow this career path. However, those who have also completed a degree often find themselves in a particularly strong position to do so.
Course content
Over the course of six semesters, you will alternate between Worms University of Applied Sciences and the Air Traffic Control Academy in Langen.
- Semesters 1 to 3: Whilst studying at Worms University of Applied Sciences, you will develop a comprehensive understanding of the air transport system as a whole. This is supported by joint modules with our other air transport degree programmes, enabling networking between students from different areas of the air transport sector. During the lecture-free period, you will work in the commercial department of DFS.
- From the 4th semester onwards: Initial training begins – the first part of your air traffic controller training. At the same time, you will attend an in-depth seminar on air traffic topics at the university.
- By the end of the fifth semester: You will complete the Initial Training and be awarded the air traffic controller trainee licence (Student Licence).
- 6th semester: You will write your bachelor’s thesis and complete Unit Training, a practical work placement at local DFS branches.
