We cover a range of research activities from aircraft and drone construction to aerodynamics, aircraft electronics, flight control and flight simulation. As a master student, you will also form part of the research team!

Did you know, …

… that you can specialise as part of your course?

You can determine the direction of your studies from the very first semester. A catalogue of elective subjects gives you a head start over the more fixed curricula.
