While studying at the Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences, you will become proficient in business English and deepen your knowledge of the aviation industry and logistics. The other content of the course ranges from business administration and accounting, through aviation legislation and taxation, all the way up to international & cross-culture management.
During your practical phases, you will work directly on projects and draw up practical experience reports on specialist topics – for example on staff scheduling at the control centre, the impact of meteorological conditions on departures and approaches at Frankfurt Airport or planning new airports and runways. You will complete your practical work placements in various areas of DFS – ranging from operational to administrative. You will receive personal and professional support from a dedicated contact in our training team.
