Description/content

The innovative Aviation Management Master's programme, offered since 2007, will provide you with all of the skills and qualifications that are necessary to boost your international career in different fields of aviation. The two-year, part-time study programme combines technical and operational know-how with broad management skills using state-of-the-art methods. Our lecturers—recognised experts—represent both academic institutions and leading companies in this industry. Due to excellent teaching and supervision, you will gain fundamental insight into the success factors in aviation and will have the opportunity to work on practical study projects of your own. Intensive seminar weeks will provide you with excellent supervision, while the study mode will allow you to combine work, family life, and studies. The full-time study mode is the most popular choice with our international students, offering a German language course, more extensive courses, and excursions.
