st.i.p. Aviation

st.i.p. programme – study and intensive practice

The partnership between Deutsche Lufthansa AG and the International University of Applied Sciences Bad Honnef ∙ Bonn

The st.i.p programme – study and intensive practice – began in August 2004 as a partnership between Deutsche Lufthansa AG and the International University of Applied Sciences Bad Honnef ∙ Bonn. Select students thus have the chance to gather intensive practical experience at Lufthansa during their studies.

Participants of the programme work in five practical areas over a total of 39 weeks. This includes freight and check-in, and certain management departments of the Lufthansa Group. Preparatory and accompanying training, lectures, tours and projects enrich the programme, which finishes with the bachelor thesis written at Lufthansa.
