Broad aerospace engineering master covering aerodynamics, structures, propulsion and flight systems at the School of Engineering and Design. The language of instruction is German and English: the programme can be completed entirely in German, entirely in English, or in both. This programme is based at TUM's Garching campus, with activities at the Ottobrunn/Taufkirchen aerospace campus. Not to be confused with 'Aerospace Engineering (M.Sc.)', a separate TUM Asia programme delivered in Singapore and applied for via tum-asia.edu.sg.

What students say
32 StudyCheck reviewers rate the programme 4.3/5, describing a broad, rigorous engineering grounding across aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, controls and flight systems, with genuine chances to join R&D projects including autonomous- and electric-flight work. The recurring caveat: heavy staff workload and limited project places make getting into a research project harder than expected. Digital materials are well organised.
