- At the beginning of each semester, we're happy to welcome our new students and introduce them to the study programme, the study regulations and the most important contact people to ensure that you are well prepared for the MSc Aerospace Engineering programme. The "Getting Started (https://www.maschinenbau.tu-darmstadt.de/studieren/studierende/studium_master/pruefungen_master_1/getting_started__m__sc___aerospace_engineering_/r2019_bewerbung_bachelor_4.en.jsp)" orientation programme takes place at the beginning of April for the summer semester and at the beginning of October for the winter semester.
The general mode of study of the Aerospace Engineering programme involves attending classes in person. Nevertheless, additional online studying material is available for several modules, ranging from recorded lectures, online tutorials or digital course material to live streaming of lectures. Please note that most of the exams can only be taken in person in Darmstadt.
- Application deadline
- • Your complete application package (also including an up-to-date transcript of records and the equivalence list of our department) must have been received in paper form by TU Darmstadt by the dates listed for "Aerospace Engineering" on this website (https://www.tu-darmstadt.de/studieren/studieninteressierte/bewerbung_zulassung_tu/bewerbungsfristen/bachelor_studiengaenge_2/index.en.jsp#master_a_1).
• Please always check the information on the website of the international admission office (https://www.tu-darmstadt.de/studieren/studieninteressierte/internationale_studieninteressierte/bewerbung_und_zulassung_international/index.en.jsp)!
• Applicants with a German school leaving certification (Abitur) and a German Bachelor's degree should apply at TU Darmstadt via the standard track (https://www.tu-darmstadt.de/studieren/studieninteressierte/bewerbung_zulassung_tu/bewerbung_master/index.de.jsp).
Applications will be processed immediately, and we strongly encourage early applications. During the formal entrance examination, proof of the required entrance competencies is verified on the basis of the submitted documents. If the entrance competencies cannot be clarified positively or negatively during the formal entrance examination, a substantive entrance examination will then be conducted. In this case, we will invite you to the exam by e-mail.

- Description/content
- The aerospace industry is a steadily growing field, and it is thus an extremely important and decisive global economic factor. Aerospace science and technology drives innovations in multitudes of disciplines and thus must be regarded as a pioneering technology field. The Technical University of Darmstadt focusses its long-standing and broad expertise in this field in order to establish a dedicated modern Aerospace Engineering education in the framework of a Master‘s degree programme. Due to its international and global character and relevance, this Master‘s degree programme is offered by internationally renowned aerospace engineering experts in English.
The Master‘s degree programme in "Aerospace Engineering" is the link between engineering tradition and technological future. Consequently, the curriculum touches upon important and essential basics as well as modern and forward-looking technological aspects of aerospace engineering sciences in order to convey competences for prospective students for the establishment of engineering system solutions. Preparing the students for the scientific orientated Master’s thesis at the end of their studies, a broad range of courses are offered, from traditional basics (e.g. structural mechanics, fluid dynamics, flight mechanics) and applied disciplines to innovative and modern teaching forms such as face-to-face tutorials in very small groups on topics such as the field of additive manufacturing or cockpit design.
