For nearly a century, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has established a reputation as the oldest, largest, and most prestigious university specializing in aviation and aerospace.
Today, as the only fully accredited, aviation-oriented university in the world, our global reach and leading-edge innovations are opening doors for students throughout continental Europe, the United Kingdom, the Middle East and Africa.
As a distance-learning pioneer, our online degrees are renowned worldwide and have been ranked among the Top 10 twelve times in the U.S. News & World Report’s, 2024-2025. This means you can complete our programs 100% online, without the need for face-to-face seminars, and it allows busy working professionals or students just starting their academic journeys to study from the comfort of their homes, offices, cafés or while traveling, all on the schedule that works best for them.
We have evolved into a recognized educational leader in Europe, where our programs may award credits to aviation professionals with over 12 years of experience through an ‘Experiential Learning Evaluation,’ allowing them to go straight into a master’s program without completing a bachelor's degree.
You can also combine special high school diplomas—such as the Abitur or International Baccalaureate—with an Airline Transport Pilot License (ATPL) to earn prior learning credits toward either our Bachelor of Science in Aeronautics or our Bachelor of Science in Pilot Operations degree.
In addition, our Europe Campus location in the House of Logistics and Mobility, within walking distance of Germany’s Frankfurt Airport, provides you the opportunity to build vital practical experience and strong professional networks through our close links with nearby aviation and aerospace companies.
