Bachelor in Aviation - Aeronautical Engineering

Aviation in Flanders can take on many forms. There are, for example, many niche-oriented companies that are responsible for the design, production, and supply of subsystems. On the other hand, direct and indirect services in and around airports are the most important source of direct and indirect employment in Flanders. With a constant worldwide growth in aviation, you are in the right place for employment in this sector. In the last year of your programme, you will choose a minor within the major Aeronautical Engineering: Manned Aviation or Unmanned Aircraft Systems. In the minor Manned Aviation, you’ll learn more about aircraft maintenance and aircraft production techniques. In the minor Unmanned Aircraft Systems, you’ll learn all about drone design, drone manufacturing, and drone maintenance. During your programme, you will be involved in research projects. This way, we make sure you’re always up-to-date on the latest developments in these innovative sectors. We focus on MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) by optimising aircraft and helicopter maintenance. We are also very active in the VIVES DroneLab, where we develop industrial drone applications.
