Introduction
Aerospace Engineering
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.
We see innovation in aeronautics as an interdisciplinary product, thereby your knowledge in the fields of electronics, mechanics, IT, transportation, aeronautics and any other branch of engineering will facilitate your team and provide the competitive advantage over the others.
Everyone who seeks their education at the aeronautical engineering Master’s level should have background knowledge in aerodynamics, aircraft structures, mechanics and aircraft engine types. These courses are available online before the study process begins. All were prepared by the best technical universities in world including MIT, and TU Delft.
The students of the current study program will develop the prototypes in teams, therefore individuals who seek like-minded partners or the groups with a unified idea are welcome to apply.
The teams will be provided with the consultations by the experienced businesspeople, light on the start-up development will be shed by qualified mentors and the „Futurepreneurs“ program.

Program Outcome
What Abilities Will You Develop?
Aerospace Engineering Master’s Degree Study Program Is Aimed at Developing the Following Skills:
- Understanding of principles of aeronautical engineering;
- Planning and conducting analytical, modelling and experimental research, critical evaluation of the obtained data and result application in manufacturing of the prototype;
- The ability to apply new research methods for aeronautical engineering problem investigation;
- The ability to resolve Non-standard, vaguely described problems, identify and define standard and non-standard aeronautical engineering problems and therefore apply novel methods for specific problem solution and decision implementation;
- Innovative facilitation of novel and original ideas in the field of aeronautical engineering as well as methods applied to provide engineering solutions in multi-faced, technically undefined and not precisely described problems;
- Unified understanding the effects of aeronautical engineering on general public and the environment;
- Project management, team work, commercialisation and business aspects of the start-ups;
- Understanding how the technological solutions are linked to economic consequences.
