Master of Science in Aerospace Mechanics and Avionics
ObjectifsThe Master of Science in aerospace mechanics and avionics is a two-year course of study that allows students to develop a high level of competence in engineering science, current technology, and engineering design related to aeronautics and space. It aims at preparing students for careers in the aerospace industry in Europe and worldwide. The MSc AMA starts with a first semester emphazing aerospace mechanics or control and avionics to prepare students to the majors to be selected for semester two and three: «aerodynamics & fluid mechanics», «structures & aeronautical engineering» or «command & control». Students have strong opportunities to develop practical skills through research projects in ISAE’s laboratories and professional thesis during internships in aerospace industry.
