Introduction
Important Aeronautical multinationals and a vibrant, specialized Aerospace ecosystem of SMEs are present in the University’s neighborhood such as Leonardo’s Aircrafts and Helicopters divisions and AVIO GE. The Apulian Regional Aeronautics District is located at the same premises in which the Course is held. In such a context, Aerospace Engineering provides all theoretical and practical knowledge on the whole set of topics relating to the Aerospace field, i.e. Flight Mechanics (both Atmospheric and Spatial), Aerospace Structures and Construction; Aerospace Systems and Installations, Fluid Dynamics, Aerospace Propulsion and Industrial Engineering Design and Methods.
The Course is organized to offer its students the choice among three tracks: Aerospace Design, Aerospace Technology, and Aerospace Systems each providing a high level of interdisciplinary teaching ensured by topics common to all tracks and related to: material sciences and technologies, energetic systems and related environmental impact, mechanical, management and electrical engineering disciplines, automation, and information engineering.
Career Opportunities
The Master’s Degree assures high-level employability in the fields of design, production, maintenance, and operational deployment of aircraft. Our Aerospace Engineers can find a job in big multinationals active in the design and production of aircraft and/or propulsions, SMEs providers of components and services, firms active in the maintenance and logistics of aircraft, airports’ management companies or bodies, public bodies for the certification of civil aviation and flight assistants, armed air forces. The Apulian Aeronautics ecosystem allows most of these jobs on the field, as well as a national or international career in industry or related industry, as well as in research.

The final exam consists in the writing of a dissertation on a subject chosen by the student among the topics of the Programme. The thesis, produced under the guidance of one or more supervisor/s, is of two kinds: 1) related to a project or an experimentation in university labs or other external organisations; 2) related to basic or applied research theme. Basic prerequisites are a relevance of the experience and originality of the work undertaken.
The dissertation can also be prepared abroad and can be linked to a traineeship experience following an integrated traineeship plus thesis path. Research dissertations foresee the review of a referee, chosen among other Course’s professors, by means of a seminar. Graduation is awarded in a public Ceremony, based on the oral defence of the work to a graduation committee, which will assign a final evaluation by taking into consideration the candidate’s whole university career.
