Our researchers apply cutting edge technologies, state-of-the-art methods, and contemporary knowledge to find new and efficient ways to bring global aviation a step further. The Centre for Aviation is actively participating in the Aviation Research Centre Switzerland (ARCS) in order to promote collaboration between all stakeholders relevant for aviation in Switzerland.

The Centre for Aviation is the leading scientific research facility for aviation in Switzerland. We believe that sustainable solutions for the aviation industry rely on successful collaborations in interdisciplinary teams. The Centre for Aviation can provide expertise in the following areas:

Researchers at the Centre for Aviation lecture in the Bachelor of Science in Aviation program of the ZHAW School of Engineering. This way, the school can ensure that the latest advances in research and development reach our students through teaching. Our students receive an education that gives them a competitive advantage once the graduate and enter the workforce. Additionally, the Centre for Aviation is also active in providing courses and continuing studies in a number of areas that are relevant for the aviation industry:

• Bachelor of Science in Aviation
• Master of Science in Engineering 
• Master Studies at the Centre for Aviation

The Centre for Aviation offers various continuing studies courses in the areas which are relevant to the aviation industry.

As an integral part of the curriculum, students in the BSc in Aviation are required to undertake a research project and to do a research-based Bachelor's thesis. This gives industry partners the opportunity to submit their ideas for innovative project, which are undertaken by the students in the controlled setting provided by the degree program.
