Introduction
Mobility Engineering: Aerospace Engineering
Every day, freight trains, trucks, aeroplanes and ships transport enormous quantities of raw material and manufactured goods around the world, while billions of people travel for work and leisure in the same manner. The Aerospace engineering profile of this master's programme will prepare you to meet the ever-changing demands of the industry with a particular focus on how aircraft, space vehicles, and their propulsion systems are designed, developed and operated.
Over the coming decades, technical solutions to make aviation more sustainable and efficient will be essential — and those educated in the field will be in huge demand. As a student on this programme, you will sharpen your fundamental engineering skills, preparing to solve all manner of real-world issues in your future career. You will also collaborate with industrial partners and have access to our world-class fluids lab for modelling and programming. The profile is designed to allow you to complement your knowledge with elective courses forming a method specialisation in three alternative areas: fluids, structural, and artificial intelligence.
Aerospace research at Chalmers has a prominent position and we are frequently the largest benefiter among Swedish universities within the national flight research programme. Chalmers is also well positioned in European research activities and has a very strong industry network. Research strongholds are in propulsion systems, fluid-solid- and material mechanics and manufacturing as well as radar and AI technology.

Career Opportunities
The Mobility engineering programme at Chalmers will lead to professional roles within research and development, design and simulation of processes, systems, and parts of automotive, railway, aerospace and maritime vehicles or other mechanical systems. Both the holistic approach and the possibility for in depth studies provided in the program also offers a suitable background when aiming for a career/role within academic research, technical support, sales, manufacturing or management at different levels.
Graduates from the programme can be found at companies such as Volvo Group, Volvo Cars, SSPA, Trafikverket, GKN Aerospace, etc. There are also graduates that continue with PhD education within mobility, at Chalmers or other universities worldwide.
