Did you know, …

… that you can take part in current research projects?

We cover a range of research activities from aircraft and drone construction to aerodynamics, aircraft electronics, flight control and flight simulation. As a master student, you will also form part of the research team!

Did you know, …

… that you can specialise as part of your course?

You can determine the direction of your studies from the very first semester. A catalogue of elective subjects gives you a head start over the more fixed curricula.

Our student team design and build aircraft which take part in international competitions. Your involvement is always welcome in all of the aviation disciplines!

The aviation industry continues to grow year-on-year and requires a significant number of professionals. Thanks to the internship and the master thesis, our students are able to establish contacts in the industry at a very early stage. Many then start out their career with the company where they completed their internship.
