This master's degree program encompasses traits such as curiosity, a desire to innovate, the freedom to materialize personal ideas, and the opportunity to cultivate a startup. It resembles a two-year-long hackathon, with the development of science-based prototypes as the primary source of future skills. In the realm of aeronautics innovation, we view it as an interdisciplinary endeavor. Thus, expertise in electronics, mechanics, IT, transportation, aeronautics, and other engineering branches will empower your team, providing a competitive edge. Prospective students pursuing aeronautical engineering at the master's level should possess foundational knowledge in aerodynamics, aircraft structures, mechanics, and aircraft engine types. Online courses, curated by esteemed technical universities worldwide, including MIT and TU Delft, are available prior to the commencement of the study. Participants in this program will collaboratively develop prototypes in teams. Individuals seeking like-minded partners or groups with unified ideas are encouraged to apply. Teams will receive guidance from experienced business professionals, and qualified mentors will shed light on startup development through the "Futurepreneurs" program. The overarching goal of this study program is to produce highly qualified specialists equipped with interdisciplinary and cutting-edge knowledge in aeronautical engineering. These specialists should be adept at constructing satellite systems and their components, addressing engineering challenges in industrial UAV development, conducting interdisciplinary research, and applying acquired results to prototype and innovation development. To actualize projects, experts and experienced scientists will offer support in fields such as drones (UAVs), nano-satellites, 3D printing in aeronautics, and military innovation in aeronautics. Drones (UAVs) represent a rapidly evolving technology with applications in agriculture, scouting, inspection, and scanning. Working on a prototype involves investigating aircraft automation, flight characteristics, beneficial cargo, aircraft reliability, power-plant systems, and other areas where UAVs could be employed. Nano-satellites constitute a growing sector in commercial and military applications. As a participant, you will explore mechanical, electronic, and IT systems, focusing on system design, manufacturing, and integration tasks. 3D printing in aeronautics is a burgeoning technology with significant implications for aviation. Participants will delve into the application of 3D printing technology in aircraft and aircraft structure manufacturing, evaluating opportunities and mechanical properties of designed pieces. Military innovation in aeronautics is another focal point, leveraging advancements from the defense industry. Participants will address public safety and defense challenges, propose innovations based on aeronautical engineering research, and collaboratively test prototypes with army soldiers and officers.


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.  


    Career opportunities after Master's degree studies

    • Establish the start-up on the basis of the prototype; 
    • Obtain employment in the fields of aeronautical and aerospace industries; 
    • Obtain employment in defence and public security institutions, energy, agriculture, transportation, logistics and other institutions where you will foster drone-based innovation; 
    • Design satellites, aircraft and their systems; 
    • Seek academic career; 
    • Continue your studies on a third - doctoral study cycle.
