The Digitalisation in Aeronautics and Space program is a non-degree course for master-level and doctoral students, as well as young professionals in the field, offered by the Technical University of Munich in English, lasting around 12-15 weeks with 3-4 hours of study per week.

The curriculum includes artificial intelligence in earth observation, robots in production, and digital avionics networks, helping students develop skills in these areas through practical assignments and exercises that address fundamental terrestrial technology fields and the disruptive changes digitalization brings.

After completing this program, students can pursue careers as Aerospace Engineers, Robotics Specialists, Earth Observation Analysts, Digital Avionics Engineers, or Artificial Intelligence Researchers, working in industries such as aerospace, robotics, or earth observation, and with employers like NASA, the European Space Agency, or private aerospace companies.
