About this program
MSc in Aeronautical Engineering
The program provides a preparation particularly focused on issues of design, operation and maintenance of aircraft and their on-board systems. The objective is to prepare highly culturally and professionally qualified technicians able to carry out and manage activities related to research and design in the fields of aerodynamics, materials, lightweight structures, aircraft systems and aerospace propulsion in national and international contexts, both in autonomy or in cooperation.
Admission requirements
A Bachelor Degree in a related field and a minimum knowledge of Aeronautical Engineering.
Students With A University Qualification Obtained Outside Italy
Applicants to Master of Science programs are required to have a Bachelor degree or be in the process of completing a Bachelor degree. Admitted applicants will have to graduate before the enrollment.
Your undergraduate level program must contain subjects closely related to the MSc program you are applying to.
An English Or Italian Language Proficiency Certificate
If your bachelor degree was taught in English, you may upload a document certified by your university attesting the teaching language instead of the language certificate.
Country-Specific Requirements Related To Your Degree
If you studied in one of the countries listed in the institute wesbite, please read carefully the information and the details about the documents to be provided. If the country where you have completed/are studying your Bachelor degree is not listed in the institute website then there is no Country-specific requirements.
The requirements (minimum GPA included) are strict, and no exceptions will be considered.
Foreign Students With A University Qualification Obtained In Italy
If you have an Italian university qualification you may be admitted to graduate degree courses under the same conditions as Italian students.

Career paths
The graduate finds employment in aeronautical and space industries; in public and private bodies for experimentation in the aerospace field; in aircraft fleet management and maintenance companies; in air-traffic control agencies; in the airforce; in industries producing machinery and equipment in which aerodynamics and lightweight structures play a significant role. Aeronautical engineers are particularly sought after in related fields. In fact, they may be involved in the design of terrestrial or nautical vehicles or large buildings or bridges or even in the design of power plants. Graduates are also in demand in the lightweight constructions industry, in the motor industry in the areas of monitoring the mechanical behaviour of structures subject to stress.
