Programme
Master's Degree in Space and Aeronautical Engineering
Course Structure
The course is divided into two semesters (Sept. to January, and Feb. to June), organized as follows:
| 5 ECTS | 25 ECTS | |
|
1st Period |
205001 - Computational Engineering | Elective Courses |
| 10 ECTS | 6 ECTS | 14 ECTS | |
| 2nd Period | 205002 - Research Management and Aerospace Projects | Elective Courses* | 205003 - Master's Thesis |
*This is the recommended structure for elective courses. However, the student can decide to change the distribution of this elective courses along the academic year as long as the total amount of credits is equal to 31 ECTS or higher.
Core Courses (compulsory)
1st Period – Computational Engineering
Practical advanced, experimental and computational Aerodynamics. Advanced Fluid Mechanics, focusing on computational Fluid Mechanics and Turbulence. Application of Aeroelasticity and Aircraft Structural Dynamics.
2nd Period – Research Management and Aerospace Projects
This course has a common Group of Research Seminar (2.5 ECTS). Besides, the students can develop either an Individual Research Project (7.5 ECTS) that will be linked to their Master's Thesis OR a Group Research Project (7.5 ECTS), aimed at developing a real European Union Horizon 2020 Project in the Space Sector.
*Elective Courses
The student can choose any other combination of elective courses (as long as the total amount of credits is equal or higher than 31 ECTS) and they will equally be able to obtain the Master's certification.
Depending on the chosen elective courses, the student can follow one of the four following tracks:
Air Transport and Airport Management
Propulsion and Thermal Systems Engineering
Aerospace Vehicles Engineering
Spacecrafts and Space Systems Engineering
