Hamburg is the third-largest centre for civil aviation in the world and is home to the main German Airbus assembly site. Lufthansa Technik, global leader in the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) sector, also has its headquarters in Hamburg. And 300 innovative small and medium-sized enterprises in the metropolitan region of Hamburg form a network of suppliers for the aviation industry worldwide.

At HAW Hamburg the aeronautical engineering degree has two majors: aircraft design & lightweight structures, and cabin architecture & cabin systems. Close cooperation with local industry and the immediate vicinity of the Airbus assembly site guarantee practice-oriented courses with excellent career possibilities.
