Entry requirements

Application period for the winter semester: May 15 – July 15 summer semester: December 1 – January 15 How is the programme structured? The Master's programme comprises 120 credit points (ECTS credits), which are completed in a standard period of study of four semesters. The credit points are distributed among in compulsory elective modules (24 ECTS credits), specialisation modules (48 ECTS credits), supplementary modules (18 ECTS credits) and the master's thesis (30 ECTS credits). From a choice of six specialisation modules, four are compulsory for students in the Master's programme. The specialisation modules are taken from two specialisation tracks, each with 24 ECTS credits. In addition to the specialisation modules, supplementary modules are chosen. These include the modules of the specialisation part that go beyond the required 24 ECTS credits and all specialisation fields, unless these have already been completed as part of the specialisation. Within the supplementary part, 6 ECTS credits of subject-related key qualifications can be taken as an option. In the specialisation modules, the fundamentals from the bachelor's programme are deepened and supplemented. A wide range of specialisation modules allows a multitude of possible combinations. This enables an individual education that takes into account the personal interests of the students. Writing the master's thesis promotes the independent development of scientific topics, the application of scientific methods in aerospace engineering and their further development in selected areas. All modules and their descriptions are listed in the C@MPUS system. + - Study schedule Study schedule Aerospaece Engineering M.Sc.
