After the basic studies / assessment, which teaches you the subject-specific basics, you can decide in the fourth semester on a focus that you would like to set in your future semesters of your aviation studies. This in-depth specialist training takes place in the fifth and sixth semesters and can be chosen with the following specializations:

• Technical Engineering
• Operational Engineering

It is also possible to train as a commercial pilot during your studies.

The Bachelor's degree in Aviation at a university of applied sciences offers students the opportunity to choose an international profile after the first year of study. You will take some modules in English, obtain the English language diploma at level C1 and spend some time abroad, for example for a semester abroad, a professional internship or to write your Bachelor's thesis. Prospective engineers who do not wish to choose the international profile also have the opportunity to gain international experience during a semester or internship abroad.

In order to be admitted to the Bachelor's degree program in Aviation, prospective students need either a completed apprenticeship in a related profession with a Federal Vocational Baccalaureate, a Baccalaureate with at least one year of relevant professional experience or an internship contract with an aviation company. Detailed information on this and the admission requirements for applicants with an equivalent qualification can be obtained directly from the Universities via the contact form.

Licenses are not automatically issued to graduates of the Aviation course. If you are interested in obtaining a commercial pilot's license, it is possible for you to complete this license training during your Bachelor's degree course, provided you pass an aptitude test.

Depending on the chosen specialization, different topics are focused on and taught during the aviation studies. The Technical Engineering specialization deals with the following topics: Aircraft systems, maintenance and repair, flight mechanics and simulation, as well as certifications. The Operational Engineering specialization deals with the following topics: Airport Processes, Air Transport Econimics, Security, Safety and Risk Management as well as national and international aviation authorities.

You will also acquire extensive knowledge of physics, mathematics and computer science and deepen your knowledge of electrical engineering, meteorology, aerodynamics, aviation law and human factors. You will also develop and expand your skills in the areas of law, self-management, business administration, team organization, communication in German and English, quality management and project management.

In addition to full-time study, the Aviation course can also be studied as a:

• practice-integrated Bachelor's degree program and
• part-time studies (recommendation for workload: max. 60%)
