About this programme

Air transport is one of the most important global transport systems. People are transported around the world, goods can be delivered to any country on Earth, and aircraft bring these people and goods to their destinations quickly, flexibly and very safely. As the air transport sector continues to grow, so does the demand for highly qualified specialists in air transport and logistics. As a student in the Air Transport and Logistics Master’s degree programme, you will acquire wide-ranging technical, operational, logistic, economic and legal knowledge about air transport and logistics systems. You will learn to analyse and optimise air transport processes as well as to detect and solve problems in this area. The Master’s programme in Air Transport and Logistics boosts the qualification of employees within the aviation industry to a graduate academic level. Students with a Bachelor’s degree in engineering, natural science or transport economics will expand their knowledge horizons and, whether theoretical or practical, will be prepared for the demands of today and the challenges of the future. The “Friedrich List” Faculty of Transportation and Traffic Sciences at the Technische Universität Dresden has created a unique programme that links the operational and planning aspects of air transport and the subjects within logistics and transport system theory. It is the only Master's programme of its kind. Through the close cooperation between the Chair of Air Transport Technology and
