Lund University School of Aviation

In 2024, the School of Aviation at Lund University expanded and became the Department of Aviation and Aeronautical Sciences. This change reflected a broader focus on research, development, and education in aviation. The department now sits within the LTH Faculty of Engineering at Lund University. It continues its previous aviation training work while adding new academic and research capabilities.

The department oversees several key operations. These include research and collaboration, the School of Aviation, theoretical education, and its own aircraft. Each area supports the others to create a complete environment for aviation study and research. Students and researchers work across these areas to gain practical and academic experience.

The School of Aviation, known in Swedish as Trafikflyghögskolan, handles flight training for the department. It provides practical instruction for students who are preparing for aviation careers. It now operates as one part of the larger academic department. The school works alongside the theoretical education and research divisions.

Theoretical education at the department covers the academic subjects required for aviation degrees. This classroom work supports both pilot training and broader aeronautical studies. The department designs its courses to meet higher education standards within the university system. Students receive instruction that connects theory with practical flight operations.

The department maintains a fleet of aircraft to support teaching and research. These aircraft support teaching and research activities. The department also works with industry partners on collaborative research. These efforts aim to improve aviation safety, technology, and operational practices.

The campus is located in Ljungbyhed in Sweden. This location serves as the main base for all department activities. The facilities there support flight operations, classroom teaching, and research work. The department uses this site to provide education and to develop new knowledge in aeronautical sciences.

The department builds connections with external organizations through research and collaboration projects. These partnerships include links with industry and public agencies in Sweden. The work helps shape aviation standards and educational methods. The department shares its research and works to improve practices across the aviation sector.
