The international degree course of Aviation Systems Technology and Management (ASTM) combines a traditional education in traffic aircraft pilots for surface aeroplanes or helicopters with an education in engineering science. The aim of this dual training in engineering and piloting is to co-ordinate an engineering science degree with the acquisition of a licence for the controlling of an air traffic aircraft. In addition to an aviation licence, prospective pilots achieve the internationally recognised Degree of ‘Bachelor of Engineering’ in engineering science. The modular formation of the study programme and the application of the ECTS system also ensures the connection to the European educational system. The degree course comprises 8 semesters, including the final Bachelor’s project. It comprises 6 modular structured study semesters, 2 practical semesters and a minimum of one overseas semester. The practical semester overseas is therefore recognised as an overseas semester. In semesters 1 to 3 the engineering foundation is conveyed via the modules of mathematics, information technology, physics, thermodynamics, electrical / hydraulic drives, mechanics, electrotechnology, material technology and machine components / construction.

Areas of professional activity: - Pilots on traffic aeroplanes - Engineer/pilot in aviation technology companies - Technological/organisational positions in the aviation industry and aviation authorities - Systems engineer in industrial firms.
