Master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering

Introduction

The master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering offers advanced multidisciplinary training that qualifies graduates for professional practice as aeronautical engineers, in accordance with prevailing legislation (Order CIN/312/2009, of 9 February). It is the natural continuation of the bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Technology Engineering, because the skill set and content of the two degrees are linked and coordinated and because they have been designed with these professional competencies in mind.

Aims

This master’s degree corresponds to a regulated profession and confers a specific set of professional competencies. The labour market needs professionals with the competencies needed to fulfil this role in the aeronautical sector, both in the administration and in public and private companies. Graduates of the master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering have traditionally been very well received in national and international companies.

Why this master’s degree?

This master’s degree provides advanced training that aims to complement that of holders of bachelor’s degrees in Aerospace Engineering. This advanced training is highly multidisciplinary in nature and provides the competencies necessary for professional practice.

Graduates of the master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering will have the capacity to design, manufacture, maintain and put into operation aeroplanes, helicopters, satellites and other aerospace engineering works, as well as the capacity to build, control and inspect ground facilities such as airport terminals, runways, signage and all the basic structures necessary for air navigation.
