Aviation Engineering / Aviation Management, B.Eng.
The globalised economy requires air traffic systems that span the globe, transporting both people and goods quickly, safely and economically to their destination. Safety, reliability, performance and efficiency are heavily dependent on whether the system and its processes are appropriately designed, optimised and further developed. It is therefore essential to deal intensively with the functionality, safety and reliability of the technical systems and their various elements as well as the abilities and motivation of the people involved in the processes.
This degree programme aims to provide students with a broad knowledge of aviation engineering, the application and operation of aircraft, airports and flight safety systems as well as their production, maintenance and repair. Upon completion of this degree programme, graduates will be able to evaluation the complex relationships between the various components within the context of the entire air traffic system and the effects they have upon one another.
Graduates of the Bachelor's programme will have a general understanding of the various areas within aviation with a solid overview of how everything works together.
This Bachelor's degree programme serves a foundation for subsequent specialisation without losing sight of aviation complexity.

Course contents
The Aviation Engineering/ Aviation Management Bachelor's degree programme is divided into four areas:
- Area 1: mathematical and scientific foundations with a focus on mathematics, information technology, thermodynamics, electrodynamics/electronics and material engineering
- Area 2: subject-specific foundations with a focus on production processes, measurement and sensor technology as well as the foundations of aviation technology
- Area 3: more in-depth technical study of the physics of flight, aircraft equipment, aircraft maintenance, flight safety, airport operations and aviation planning
- Area 4: multi-disciplinary studies of business administration, aviation law, quality management and human factors
Career
- Engineering and technology fields: Airlines, airport operators, handling companies
- Areas in planning, production preparation and quality assurance with technical aviation operations and aircraft manufacturers/component manufacturers
- Administrative areas of aviation (Federal Office of Civil Aeronautics, air crash investigation)
- Regulatory and approval authorities in Germany

Requirements and application
| Previous education | Preparation courses We recommend that you check in good time before starting your studies if it makes sense for you to participate in study preparation courses. |
|---|---|
| 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.
