Master in Aerospace engineering and astronautics

Warsaw University of Technology is the premier technical research university in Poland, combining a rich 200-year history with cutting-edge innovation. It is consistently ranked as the top engineering school in the country, attracting the brightest minds from across the globe.

Aerospace Engineering and Astronautics at Warsaw University of Technology is a master's degree taught in English in Warszawa, Poland, spanning three semesters, with annual tuition of 4800.0 EUR. The programme offers two specialisations: Aerospace Structures and Systems, and Aerospace Propulsion Systems, with the Aerospace Structures and Systems track free of charge for EU students. Students gain knowledge of recent developments in the field along with the methods and tools needed to take on management positions in industry or pursue research work. The third of the three semesters is dedicated to a research problem, with the problem statement and its solution forming the master's diploma thesis. Throughout the programme, students build the knowledge required for scientific research, design, optimisation, modernisation, and maintenance of flying vehicles. Graduates are prepared to work in aviation engine design offices, research laboratories, and maintenance centres, and to work with all types of internal combustion engines, including automobile, railway, and power-plant engines. Example modules include advanced computational fluid dynamics, an aircraft systems laboratory, composite materials in aerospace, control in aerospace, dynamics of flight, heat transfer in aerospace, physics of the atmosphere, mechanics of thin-walled structures, attitude and navigation systems, aircraft maintenance management, fatigue and aircraft diagnostic systems, structural analysis of aero engines, and signals and identification methods. Career paths include domestic and international roles across the aerospace and aviation sectors. As a discipline, aerospace engineering integrates mechanics, materials science, propulsion, and control systems, preparing graduates to work on the design, testing, and operation of aircraft and related vehicles across both civil and defence-related industries.
