Aerospace Engineering, B.Eng.
In the bachelor program Aerospace Engineering (B. Eng.) you not only get to know the fundamentals of engineering science in a practical way, you also learn everything about the construction, construction and technology of airplanes, engines and spacecraft.
You will develop a wide range of competencies with the specializations of aircraft construction, flight operations technology, space technology and engine technology. Your degree qualifies you not only as an aerospace engineer, but also for many other industries.

Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →About the programme
Are you interested besides the basic question "why does an airplane fly?" for example also on how to improve the consumption and environmental impact of aircraft through modern construction or how modern satellites can help with climate observations of the earth? How are flight times improved through optimal routes or how can passengers best be handled at the airport? How does an engine become quieter and less polluting?

These and many other questions will be discussed within the scope of the study in the majors aircraft engineering, space technology, engine engineering and flight operations engineering. A department with a unique range of competencies and highly motivated lecturers awaits you for a demanding study program.
What you study
In the first four semesters you will take compulsory modules in the area of mathematical and scientific fundamentals (e.g. mathematics, physics, technical mechanics, electrical engineering and thermodynamics).
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.

- in the national and international aerospace industry
- for aircraft manufacturers
- in the component and subsystem supply industry
- for airlines
- for airlines such as airlines and airport operators
- with authorities and agencies
- in many high technology sectors of mechanical engineering
- in automotive technology
The task of the Bachelor is the implementation of knowledge from science and research into clear technical concepts and solutions.
In general, the following task areas in industry can be distinguished:
- applied research in research institutes or industry
- Design and Development
- Construction (CAD) and calculation (FEM, MKS, CFD)
- Technical Sales (consulting, customization, customer care, ...)
- Production, Production Planning and Control
- Experimental Design, Implementation and Evaluation
- Maintenance and Operation of Aircraft and Equipment
Recently, the use of environmental simulation has increased, Product assurance, quality control and management added.

Requirements and application
| Previous education | A school certificate that gives access to university in Germany — directly or after a Studienkolleg. |
|---|---|
| Language | German C1 — confirmed by a certificate when you apply |
| Application | Via uni-assist, winter semester until 15.07 |
The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2German up to C1 and a certificateDSH or TestDaF has to be passed before you apply.
- 3Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 4Application via uni-assist until 15.07uni-assist checks documents for 4–6 weeks — send them well before the deadline.
- 5Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
