18 Master Programmes in Aeronautical Engineering in Europe for 2024

Aircraft aerodynamics and handling performances are always the most important and challenging aspects of aircraft designs, particularly with the consideration of advanced materials and advanced aircraft technologies. The MSc Engineering (Aeronautical) will help to advance your knowledge within this fascinating sector.

The program provides a preparation particularly focused on issues of design, operation and maintenance of aircraft and their onboard systems.

The development and growing use of Remote Piloted Aircraft Systems (SAPR) - commonly, drones - in many application and research areas requires extensive training. 400 hours of lessons and design laboratory 250 hours of training internships in companies in the sector or institutional bodies. The 1st level University Master - organized by the University of Rome "Tor Vergata" and by ENAC, the National Civil Aviation Authority with the participation of sector bodies and companies - trains drone designers, specialists in processes and based services on SAPR. Two scholarships are available to fully cover the course provided by Telespazio. Scholarships are awarded mainly on a meritocratic basis, based on the CVs received which will be assessed by a specific commission. Those enrolled who will obtain the Master degree and pass the practical skill test with ENAC examiner, will be contextually issued by a Training center authorized by ENAC and agreed with the Master the APR pilot certificate (Remote Piloted Aircraft).

The Master's Degree in Unmanned Aerial Systems is a highly specialized degree, unique in the Galician System of Universities and one of the only two official Master's Degrees in drones offered in the national territory. Students may opt for subjects oriented to the operation of unmanned aerial systems, taught by the University of Santiago de Compostela (Escuela Politécnica Superior de Ingeniería de Lugo) or oriented to the development of unmanned aerial systems, taught by the University of Vigo ( School of Aeronautical and Space Engineering of Ourense), also provides the basic knowledge to obtain the drone pilot title and allows access to doctoral programs and completion of doctoral thesis.

We offer training in Aeronautical Engineering of a transversal nature, aimed at training professionals to practice their profession and to integrate into multidisciplinary work groups, showing ethical and responsible attitudes, respecting people, the social environment and the environment.

The course aims to equip graduates with a detailed knowledge of advanced methods in aeronautical engineering, including theoretical foundations, computational and experimental methods and engineering applications; to increase awareness of the opportunities offered by current research in aeronautical engineering and its application to current practice; to fulfil the Engineers Ireland requirements for a Master's degree in an engineering discipline as a minimum educational standard for Chartered Engineer status; to enhance graduates' existing educational base and employment prospects.

This training is specialized in transportation (mainly aeronautical) and energy. The aim is to give students, at the end of the two-year program, a strong theoretical, numerical and experimental knowledge on energetics for turbine engines and on materials for high temperatures.

The objective of the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos is to cover the existing need for professionals within the aeronautical sector with the greatest capabilities and qualifications possible within the framework of a regulated profession since the present proposal for a Master's Degree in Aeronautical Engineering is fully adapted to the legislation. in force that regulates the professional practice linked to the regulated profession of Aeronautical Engineer and consequently, the graduates of the degree will obtain the consequent professional qualification mandatory by law in the multiple aeronautical fields, according to Ministerial Order CIN/312/2009 of February 9, 2009 (BOE of February 18, 2009).

The Master's Degree in Unmanned Aerial Systems, taught jointly by the University of Santiago de Compostela and the University of Vigo, is one of the few official university master's degrees in this field in our country. It is sponsored by the Galician Innovation Agency GAIN and the RPAS-UO group of the University of Oviedo also collaborates in its teaching. As it is an official title within the EHEA (European Higher Education Area), it is not only highly valued at a professional level, but it is also recognized in public calls for scholarships and oppositions. In addition, it allows access to doctoral programs, writing a doctoral thesis or doing research in this highly specialized field.

This cross-field study programme has been developed to educate you in the design of air and space vehicles, their systems and elements, and in the assessment of their condition and performance. After completing a Master’s in Aeronautical Engineering at KTU, you will be able to deal with engineering issues in the functionality of airborne vehicles, to conduct analytical, modelling and experimental research.

Curiosity, desire to construct, freedom to put your personal ideas into practice and develop a start-up - all these features fit under this master-degree study program. It is like a two-year long hackathon, where the science-based design of a prototype will become the major source of future skills.

The Master in Aeronautical Management program provides an interdisciplinary insight into the aviation systems, i. e. airlines, maintenance facilities, and legislation authorities. Applicants have to be graduates of bachelor study programs in aviation systems.

The fundamental objective of the Master's Degree in Aeronautical Engineering is to offer students a complete vision of aeronautical engineering. Students acquire a capacity for the design, development, research and management in the field of aeronautical engineering that has as its object aerospace vehicles, aerospace propulsion systems, aerospace materials, airport infrastructures, air navigation infrastructures, and any space, traffic and air transport management system.
