Introduction
You're an engineer? Do you want to increase your knowledge in aeronautical design, manufacturing, and maintenance?
Receive extensive and rigorous training to understand and use technology and apply it to aerospace design, manufacturing, and maintenance. Train with the best professionals and do internships with the leading aeronautical companies in our country:
The Master's Degree provides theoretical and practical training in the different disciplines involved in the design, configuration, assembly, production, and maintenance of an aircraft. Emphasis is placed on assembly configuration and production processes, composite materials, and new technologies, applicable in the factory of the future and advanced materials. In addition, practical training is emphasized by carrying out an internship period in companies of recognized prestige in the aerospace sector.
As far as content acquisition is concerned, the basic subjects of aeronautical engineering will be combined with others of a more specialized nature, some of which belong to the forefront of science and technology.
Goals
