BSc Aerospace Engineering

How do you design an aircraft that can fly on hydrogen? How do you get a wind turbine to work on a floating platform at sea? Is there an easy solution for space debris? When you choose the bachelor’s programme Aerospace Engineering, you will be prepared to shape the future of sustainable aerospace.   

As you delve into the core of aerospace engineering, you'll acquire the essential knowledge to build a robust foundation from which you can develop your expertise to design systems, integrate various disciplines and collaborate with students from around the world. 

With these vital skills you can create and optimize satellites, helicopters, aircraft, and wind turbines, all in a world where sustainability is at the forefront of attention.

Student Experiences

How do you like the study? 

A lot of people ask me if I genuinely like my study, as everyone around me sees that it takes a lot of effort to keep up with classes and stay focused. Nevertheless, it has been the best decision that I have ever made.

― Isabeau, 1st year student

Why did you decide to study Aerospace Engineering? 

Aerospace Engineering is a very challenging study programme that combines a variety of engineering fields, which is clearly noticeable from the courses that are offered. You will do a lot of mathematics, physics, chemistry, manufacturing, even some statistics and of course a lot of Aerospace. After one year of studying, I am still very happy with my choice.

― Kristian, 2nd year student

What was your favourite course?  

I mostly preferred the math intensive courses, such as linear algebra in the first year. Once you have those basics under control, the harder courses, like vibrations, aerodynamics and signals, become a lot easier and fun.
