Management Systems will enable students to operate in a leading position under consideration of the actual challenge of the market. Learn more
Human Factors in Leadership aims to impart knowledge and methods in order to enable independent orientation in dynamic systems with variable regulations. Students will develop interdisciplinary problem solving strategies and will be able to adapt these in the field of engineering and aeronautical management. Learn more
The Modelling and Simulation module consists of a theoretical and a practical component: The introduction to simulation and simulators forms the basis for further training. In the practical part, students have to create an aircraft simulation model.
In the master thesis students have to deal intensively with a research project or case study and put it in writing in the form of a scientific paper. Learn more
The module Risk Management in Flight Operations introduces general principles of risk management and focuses in particular on the most important risk areas in aviation. This includes topics such as the human factor and the human-machine interface.
The Aviation System Simulation module is based on the principles of air traffic management. This involves understanding and applying the interdependence between the different parties in the aviation industry. This will enable students to understand the role and interconnectedness of aircraft manufacturers, airlines, air traffic control systems, airports and statutory authorities.
