Aircraft Construction, B.Eng.
The aircraft industry is one of the largest growth industries and the Hamburg location is one of the world's leading aircraft construction sites. Close cooperation with the aircraft industry ensures that the state-of-the-art technology is taught at the Hamburg University of Applied Sciences (HAW) and guarantees a high degree of practical relevance. The main focus of the aircraft construction study is the design and calculation of aircraft structures and aircraft cabins.

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 →What you study
In the first three semesters, the focus is on the basic subjects of Mathematics and Physics, Engineering Mechanics, Constructive Basics and Material Science.
