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.

The Aviation Management programme is designed for students with a Bachelor’s degree or a German "Diplom" degree in engineering or business and no less than one year of professional experience. Successful graduates will be well placed to work in the following fields: international airlines, airport authorities, air traffic control, manufacturing of aircraft and equipment, maintenance and service companies, and regulation of authorities on local, national, and international levels. Many of our graduates work for companies such as Lufthansa, Airbus, Siemens, and DHL.
