Admission requirements
Prerequisite for the admission of the study course is a first in Germany recognised university degree that qualifies for a profession or a degree from a state or state-recognised university of cooperative education in the field of engineering (Civil Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Transport Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Computer Science), in a scientific field (Physics, Mathematics, Geography and Geodesy), in Transport and Traffic Sciences, or a university degree in a study course with comparable skills' acquisition.
German language requirements
International applicants and German applicants with a foreign university entrance qualification are kindly advised to read the requirements for German-language courses.
Application hints and tips
If, at the time of application, proof of the first degree qualifying the applicant for a profession is not yet available, the application will be considered under the precondition that 80% of the credit points attainable for the degree have already been achieved based on completed module examinations or the final thesis and the colloquium (if applicable). A certification from the awarding institute of higher education (examination office) serves as proof of the above-mentioned academic achievements. You can find the appropriate form on the Admissions Office website.
General information for the degree programme
The Master’s Programme covers seven mandatory and five elective modules, which enable the students to place option driven emphases. Therefore, content-related modules in the field of Air Transport Systems, Transport Logistics and Theory of Transportation Systems are provided as modules which involve general and specific aspects and basic knowledge of the transportation systems, e.g. Transport Law and Policy, Transport (Infrastructure) Planning, Traffic Psychology, Quality and RAMS-Management, Sensor Technology in Transport Systems, Transportation Telematics Networks, Theory and Technology of Information Systems, Performance Analysis of Rail Freight and Passenger Transport, Applied Computer Science.
The theoretical-methodical and mandatory modules „Advanced Theory of Transportation Systems“ and „Logistics“ provide lectures in methods and procedures of operation and decision theory, simulation and optimization of traffic systems and logistics. The graduates will be able to describe and evaluate logistic system variables. In addition, there is the knowledge of a holistic description, analysis and planning of material flows.
The aviation-specific mandatory modules "Aircraft Technology" and "Aircraft Characteristics" will provide a gain in knowledge of design, manufacture, maintenance and servicing of the aircraft, to the graduates, supported by applied methods. In addition, the graduates are taught in aerodynamic characteristics, flight characteristics, flight performance and theory of the propulsion system, plus design and mode of operation.
The air transport-specific mandatory modules "Flight Planning and Flight Operations", "Operational Logistical Structures of Air Transport" and "CNS and tactical ATM" provide knowledge of operational and legal aspects of flight and airport operations as well as the tasks and requirements of a safe flight performance. In addition, the graduates gain basic knowledge of the procedure design and the airspace usage as well as the essential technical basics for communication, navigation and surveillance of the air transport system, including the necessary facilities and systems. The graduates are also taught in flight preparation procedures, procedures which intent safe and economic flight operations and about central elements of the cockpit equipment.
In addition, the methods and skills taught within the framework of the modules are used for a comprehension and assessment of complex issues in an interdisciplinary context, to reflect and transfer scientific knowledge into practice, while respecting the principles of scientific honesty and the preparation and comprehension of complex issues.
