Fakta om Lunds universitet 1999 Facts 1999, Lund University Lund University School of Aviation The School of Aviation, TFHS, was started in 1984 in order to offer airlines a competitive recruitment alternative to air-force pilots. As of January 1998, the School of Aviation is part of Lund University, the only university in Europe to include an aviation programme in its curriculum. The unique airfield with its four parallel runways is highly suitable for flying training. TFHS trains its students to the license-level required for employment as first officer, and later pilot in command, in airline traffic. The course takes approximately 18 months and is pursued under intense circumstances.
Training is provided on a residential basis.
The school also offers various types of flight-instructor courses and commission assignments for, among others, the Swedish Armed Forces. In addition to education of pilots, the school is to pursue research and development, principally in the field of human factors.
