Aerospace Engineering
The Master’s Degree in Aerospace Engineering prepares students to address the technical and environmental challenges of today’s aerospace industry. It responds to major shifts in the sector, where traditional aeronautical engineering is increasingly integrated with new mobility services, sustainability goals, and the rapid evolution of digital technologies. The course also reflects the dynamic growth of the space economy, including low-cost telecommunications, satellite systems, and planetary exploration. Students acquire a broad and robust foundation across all areas of aerospace science and technology.
The curriculum covers aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, flight mechanics, aerospace systems, and advanced materials. Students choose between two specialisation tracks—Aeronautics and Astronautics—and can customise their academic path with electives in automation, artificial intelligence, and energy systems. Teaching is supported by laboratories, research seminars, and design activities, with many students participating in international mobility programmes or completing their thesis work in collaboration with industry or research centres.
Graduates are equipped for careers in the aerospace and defence sectors, air traffic and airport management, certification bodies, and research organisations. They may also pursue doctoral studies or second-level master’s degrees in engineering and related fields. Admission is open to students holding a relevant undergraduate degree in Industrial Engineering, with the possibility of tailored study plans for those from other disciplines. Upon passing the national licensing exam, graduates are eligible to register with the professional board of Industrial Engineers in Italy and may practise across the European Union.
