The Master’s degree is a university degree, a state diploma.
It is combined with a three-year degree and falls under the European LMD (License, Master’s, Doctorate) system.

The Advanced Master’s® does not prepare for a doctorate.

The Advanced Master® is generally combined with a five-year degree.
The Advanced Master® also has the distinction of being aimed at both recent graduates AND professionals with several years of experience.

Please note: “Advanced Master®” is a trademark. It is invariable; never an “s”!

No, you don’t have to be passionate about these fields to join us.

Not all ISAE-SUPAERO students are passionate about these fields. This is what makes the school unique: students who aren’t passionate about them sometimes find themselves involved in exciting projects or clubs involving drones, Mars simulations in the Utah desert, aeronautics, etc., and sometimes absorb the passion of other students!

The customizable curriculum allows you to choose courses related to other fields, particularly in the third year, with the choice of a major and an area of application.

Visit the program page to learn more about the courses.
