Aerospace
M.Sc.
Overview
Increasing demands regarding environmental and noise protection require new scientific and technical developments for example in automation and drive systems. These developments allow completely new aviation concepts like unmanned and electrical aircrafts. Highly qualified engineers with a profound knowledge and understanding about the total system in aviation as well as in interdisciplinary and international cooperation, push these developments in companies and universities.
Students in aerospace learn everything about concepts and the development of space vehicles, satellites and their subsystems and components. With a broad range of modules offered in English, the students can extent their English skills. The Master’s Degree Program can be studied completely in German, English or in both languages.
Which further expertise and skills will I acquire?
The Master Degree in Aerospace will enable graduates to develop a strong process-led, verifiable, both international and interdisciplinary way of working which is particularly essential in aerospace.
The graduates will gain competence in the field of flying total systems which they can apply, dependent on their individually chosen direction, to the field of transport systems, endo- and exo-atmospheric flight systems, as well as to the disciplines of aerodynamics, lightweight construction, flight system dynamics, flight power units, control technology, aircraft design or aerospace technology. In addition, the graduates will have significant knowledge of production methods, as well as material science from development to application.
Further, graduates will be constantly confronted with problems areas which require optimization with regard to economic and ecological considerations, as well as specific restraints concerning design, construction, licensing and operating flight systems.
Which professional opportunities can I take up with this qualification?
Opportunities arise for graduates in the areas of aerospace systems, propulsion technologies and armaments, as well as materials technology or components. Civil aviation, defense and security and space travel are all potential fields of employment.
Structure
New scientific and technical developments, such as in automation and propulsion systems, are enabling entirely new aircraft concepts, including unmanned aerial systems and electrically powered aircraft. These developments are being driven by highly educated engineers in companies and universities, who are breaking new ground based on a comprehensive understanding of the entire aerospace system in interdisciplinary and international cooperation. Students majoring in aerospace engineering are particularly concerned with the design and development of spacecraft, satellites, and related subsystems and components.
The master's program offers great flexibility to create an individual study plan. The program is structured as follows:
- master modules, divided into main subject areas integrated system, propulsion systems, fluid dynamics/aerodynamics, structure, dynamics and control technology, as well as domain-specific modules and flexibilization in engineering science
- lab courses
- supplementary courses
- research practise (term project, team project, practical research course)
- key competences (language courses, soft skills workshops, …)
- Master’s thesis
The program is taught in German and English. Depending on your choice of specialization, you can complete the program entirely in German or English, or take modules in both languages. The module handbook in TUMonline tells you which modules are taught in which language.
