Rooted in decades of German academic and industry practice, the Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering programme is curated for students from different engineering disciplines to build a strong foundation in the core concepts of aerospace engineering focusing on aeronautical design, space design and research necessary to propel their career forward towards success in the global aerospace industry.
It serves to empower graduates with an in-depth knowledge in the field of aerospace engineering, by equipping students with competencies relating to complete flying systems (fixed wing aircraft, rotary wing aircraft, helicopters, fuselages, spacecraft and satellites). Students will also be able to choose from a wide selection of elective modules and gain a thorough knowledge of transport systems, flight systems for inside and outside the atmosphere, aerodynamics, lightweight design, flight system dynamics, and flight propulsion.
Graduates of the Master's degree course are able to apply, analyse, evaluate and develop knowledge and methods from the aerospace field whilst considering the relevant technical, scientific, economic, environmental and legal aspects. They are also equipped to employ a highly process driven and verifiable approach to work, a critical requirement in the aerospace sector.
Graduates are well versed in competencies relating to complete flying systems (fixed wing aircraft, rotary wing aircraft, helicopters, fuselages, spacecraft and satellites) and, depending on the other course modules selected, also have thorough knowledge of transport systems, flight systems for inside and outside the atmosphere as well as from the disciplines aerodynamics, lightweight design, flight system dynamics, flight propulsion, control technology, aircraft design and space travel technology. Furthermore, graduates have specific knowledge of production methods and materials science (from development to application) in order to meet the unique and extreme demands of the aerospace field (e.g. safety, reliability, quality and structural integrity).
Graduates are able to understand transport systems as complete systems (including their sub-systems) and also to analyse, evaluate and develop them. The knowledge and skills they acquire in understanding highly complex dynamic systems with all their characteristics and operating conditions makes them qualified for other fields in addition to aerospace. This course's graduates are in fact well qualified for other sectors such as vehicle construction or information technology.
