All fields are required
Aerospace engineering is a discipline that deals with the design, development and maintenance of aircraft and spacecraft. Aerospace engineers work on the creation of aeroplanes, helicopters, satellites, rockets and other vehicles that operate both inside and outside the earth's atmosphere.
Their roles include research and development of new technologies, improvement of propulsion systems, aerodynamics, materials structuring and navigation.
Aerospace engineering encompasses both aeronautics and astronautics.
Aeronautics focuses on the design and development of aircraft that operate within the Earth's atmosphere, such as aeroplanes and helicopters. Astronautics, on the other hand, deals with vehicles operating outside the atmosphere, such as satellites and spacecraft.
For more details, see the article on the difference between aerospace and aeronautical engineering.
In order to opt for a degree in aerospace engineering, it is advisable to take the Baccalaureate in Science, with special emphasis on subjects such as Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. These subjects provide the necessary basis for university studies in this discipline.
It is also possible to gain access through other technical or scientific qualifications.
El Grado en Ingeniería Aeroespacial de UAX ofrece diversas salidas profesionales en sectores como la aviación comercial, la industria de defensa, la exploración espacial, y la investigación y desarrollo de nuevas tecnologías. Los graduados pueden trabajar en empresas de fabricación de aeronaves, agencias espaciales, compañías aéreas, y centros de investigación.
Yes, the UAX Bachelor's Degree in Aerospace Engineering offers optional internships that allow students to gain professional experience and a successful entry into the labour market.
These internships are made up of 9 ECTS credits and students can carry them out in companies in the aerospace sector, which gives them the opportunity to apply the knowledge acquired in a real environment.
