Here are some impressions by a student from IUBH.

Internship

One 5-6 month internship enables our students to turn their academic knowledge into practical experience. The internship can be taken either in Germany or abroad and represents a crucial element of our studies. Students establish first ties with the industry and have the chance to make a first impression on potential employers.

Extra Curriculum

A further addition to the study programme's emphasis on practical experience is what we call "Extra Curriculum". The Extra Curriculum is offered once per week during the first semester. Participation is optional.
The programme consists of the following elements:

Workshops and conferences on and off campus on different subjects
Guest lectures from experts from the aviation industry
Field trips to industry-specific companies, e.g. airlines or airports

The Extra Curriculum works as an excellent orientation tool in the first semester and provides our students with first-hand insights into the world of aviation. In this way, our students learn more about how the industry is structured, which types of companies and what work opportunities exist.
