A Multidisciplinary Curriculum
Our Master in Aerospace Engineering (MAE) equips students with the advanced knowledge and practical skills needed to address complex challenges in product and system design, as well as operational strategies within both research institutions and aerospace companies.
Majors of Specialisation
The programme offers 7 majors of specialisation allowing students to chose their academic journey to align with their individual interests and professional goals.
Aircraft Design and Operation Pathway
Students in the Aerospace Structures, Aerospace Systems & Control, and Systems Engineering majors can follow the Aircraft Design and Operation pathway.
This pathway allows students to follow two dedicated modules: Aircraft Design Methods and Multidisciplinary Optimization, and they conduct their Research Project in this field.
Programme Objectives
- Objective 1: to master sound technical and scientific skills in the main disciplines related to aerospace engineering
- Objective 2: to be aware of the key disciplines that play a major role in new aerospace projects
- Objective: to develop a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to the design and development process of a product or system
- Objective: to prepare students to work and communicate in multicultural environments, oriented towards teamwork and innovation. French courses are compulsory for beginners during both years of the programme.
