Aerospace M. Sc.
Cleared for take off! It is your goal to design aircraft which fly faster, higher and further? Do you want to sound out what is technically possible in space travel?
In our aerospace degree program you will learn everything you need to know to make your fascination and passion into your profession as an aerospace engineer.
What you'll learn for your future?
The Master's degree in aerospace will enable graduates to develop a strongly process-led, verifiable, international and interdisciplinary way of working which is particularly essential in aerospace.
Graduates will gain competence in the field of flying total systems which they can apply, depending on their individually chosen direction, to the fields 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, graduates will have significant knowledge of production methods, as well as material science from development to application.
Further, graduates will be constantly confronted with problem areas which require optimization with regard to economic and ecological considerations, as well as specific restraints concerning design, construction, licensing and operating flight systems.

The Master’s program allows you to create your own individual study course plan. It 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 languages of instruction for this program are German and English. Depending on the focus area you choose, you can study in German, English or both languages. To learn more about the language of instruction for each module, see the module handbook in TUMonline.
There is the possibility of a stay abroad at one of 15 European partner universities in eight countries. In addition, a large number of non-European partner universities are available. Finally, students of the M.Sc. Aerospace can apply for the double-degree program with ISAE-SUPAERO in Toulouse.
More information about the different possibilities of a stay abroad can be found on the website of the TUM Global & Alumni Office.
If you did not complete an industrial internship of at least eight weeks during your first degree program, you must prove that you have completed it by the end of the second semester at the latest.
Minimum requirements to apply for a Master's program at TUM are a recognized undergraduate degree (e.g. a Bachelor’s) and the successful completion of the aptitude assessment procedure to evaluate your individual talents and motivation for study.
During the application period, you must apply through the TUMonline application portal and upload your application documents.
If you receive an offer of admission, you will additionally have to submit individual documents as notarized hardcopies by post to be enrolled.
Generally, applicants with a qualification for postgraduate studies (e.g. a Bachelor’s) obtained outside of the EU/EEA must have their documents reviewed in advance through uni-assist.
