Aviation management
Business administration | Bachelor of Arts
Aviation managers operate where the fields of business administration, aviation law and logistics overlap. You manage the flow of goods, people, information and capital so that logistical processes are optimally organised. This degree programme will give you flexibility in your later career as your areas of expertise span the entire industry. This range also prevents you from developing a narrow view of problems, as you gain a feeling for the underlying forces in the whole industry. Later at DFS, you might work in flight route planning, in the marketing of specialised software or in the development of corporate strategies. You could be helping the board prepare decisions that will impact the company far into the future.

The Frankfurt University of Applied Science places highly in rankings of business administration courses. At university, you will learn the basics of business administration and marketing, accounting and business mathematics, the aviation industry and logistics. To get ready for international projects and placements, you will also attend courses in business English.
