This Master of Science is awarded by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and is delivered in Singapore in English. The programme offers advanced, specialised training in aerospace engineering with particular emphasis on aeronautical design, space design and research. It combines strong theoretical coursework with hands-on laboratory work to prepare students for technical roles in aircraft and spacecraft design, analysis and development.
The curriculum is structured to build core competence in aerodynamics, flight mechanics, propulsion, structures and materials, while lab modules develop practical modelling and simulation skills. Students can tailor their studies through a broad selection of technical electives (covering topics from aeroelasticity to space mission design) and non-technical electives in business and innovation management.

This Master's programme is delivered entirely on-site in Singapore and combines classroom-based theory with hands-on practical work. Modules are structured to give a balanced mix of conceptual understanding and applied experience, with instruction carried out in English by a team of German and Singaporean lecturers. The international teaching staff and Singapore location provide a multicultural learning environment and close links to regional aerospace activity.
After finishing the taught component, every student must undertake a compulsory research internship hosted by an industrial partner or a research institution. Following the internship, students complete a six-month Master's thesis that serves as the programme’s capstone research project. Together these elements ensure you gain direct exposure to real-world aerospace problems and applied research practice.
Learning outcomes focus on the ability to transfer theoretical knowledge into practical engineering solutions, to design and execute a substantial research project, and to communicate technical results in English. Graduates leave with strengthened research skills, experience of industrial or institutional workflows, and readiness for careers in aerospace engineering or further academic study.
To be considered for this master’s program, you should hold a Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical Engineering, Advanced Mechanics, Mechatronics, Robotics, Avionics, Aircraft Engineering or a closely related engineering discipline. Admissions are competitive and applicants are expected to have achieved excellent academic results in their undergraduate studies.
The undergraduate degree must normally be completed over at least three years, although exact length and academic expectations can vary depending on your prior educational system and background. Because country-specific rules may differ, we recommend contacting the admissions team to confirm how your qualification will be assessed.
If your bachelor’s credential was issued by a university in China, Vietnam or India, you must submit an Akademische Prüfstelle (APS) certificate — a verification document used to confirm the authenticity and academic standing of certain foreign degrees. If you have questions about this or other documentation, email the admissions office well in advance to clarify requirements.

Graduates are prepared for technical and research roles across the aerospace sector, including aircraft and spacecraft design, flight mechanics and control, propulsion systems, structural analysis, and certification and safety engineering. The combination of laboratory experience, project work and an industry research internship equips students for positions in aerospace companies, systems integrators, component manufacturers, certification bodies and research institutes.
The programme also provides a solid foundation for further academic research (PhD) in aerospace-related fields or for roles that combine engineering expertise with management responsibilities when paired with the available non-technical electives.
