Air Transport

The Air Transport study programme with the specialisation Air Transport is aimed at covering a wide range of current air traffic issues. The study starts with general subjects (such as mathematics, physics, informatics, general economic theory, or marketing). Students then progressively acquire knowledge in specialised subjects (e.g., navigation, meteorology, aeromechanics, communication systems in aviation, or flight planning and monitoring), as well as in subjects that can shape their professional career in technical fields (e.g., flight instruments, aircraft propulsion systems, aircraft design, or computer simulation in aviation), and finally also in the operational-economic field (e.g., organisation and management of civil aviation, or aviation law). The study is completed by the elaboration of a bachelor thesis and its defence at the state final examination.
