Program Overview
Start your very own "Mission Earth" with the Bachelor Aerospace. The six-semester Bachelor's program, taught entirely in English, is the ideal introduction to the global future topic of aerospace.
We offer an innovative, comprehensive and subject-specific basic education for the aerospace engineers of tomorrow. All important disciplines are covered in an interdisciplinary manner and neighboring and application-oriented fields are also included, so that students develop a view of the overall system right from the start and learn to solve technically complex problems in all areas of aerospace.
The aerospace industry has a strong presence in Munich, and it serves an international market that continues to grow in many future fields (new space, satellite Internet, air cabs, eAviation, etc.). As specialized engineers, you have many opportunities to find a great career start in this broad spectrum. And of course, with your knowledge e.g. in lightweight construction and materials, aerodynamics or thermodynamics, you will also be welcome in other sectors such as the energy industry or the automotive industry.
The program provides solid knowledge in aerospace-specific core disciplines (mathematics and systems theory, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, materials and machine elements, electrical and information engineering) and builds on this with practical, structured and open teaching formats and a range of specialization offerings.
Career Opportunities
The program trains engineers with solid basic knowledge ranging from mathematics and materials to fluid physics and computer science. The strong technical specialization in the aerospace sector makes graduates perfect candidates for further studies in the engineering field (e.g. consecutive in the Master Aerospace) or for a job in engineering (e.g. in industries such as aerospace, automotive, design, etc.).
Program Curriculum
The program consists of 19 compulsory modules distributed over the first four semesters.
In the fourth semester, in addition to the compulsory modules, the "System Elective" can be selected from a catalog of elective modules. In the fifth and sixth semesters, the focus is then entirely on the practical application of the theories and competencies from the first four semesters, as well as on focusing and specializing based on individual interests. In the fifth semester, students are expected to expand their knowledge practically in the "Engineering Internship", and in group work through the "Engineering Project". The university internship of the "Aerospace Lab Course I" and the elective module catalog of the "Modeling Elective", further optional "Engineering Electives" as well as a smaller "Supplementary Course" allow students to refine their personal competence profile.
In the sixth semester, in addition to further elective modules and even greater freedom of choice, the focus is on the bachelor thesis, with which students demonstrate that they have learned to work on a question independently and scientifically.
