§ 3 - Qualification goals, contents and professional fields of
activity
Qualification and training goals
The Master's degree program in Aerospace Engineering
(Aero- nautics and Astronautics) at Faculty V prepares
students for a professional field of activity in the aerospace
sector.
The master's degree in aerospace engineering confirms that
graduates have
• have in-depth and extensive knowledge in the field of
aerospace,
• have an understanding of the interrelationships in the
aerospace industry that goes beyond
technical/professional specialization,
• be able to develop this knowledge in the field of
aerospace in a scientifically and methodologically sound
manner,
• Incorporating knowledge from other fields, possess
specialized problem-solving skills that lead to new
insights and developments,
• are characterized by strategic thinking and action with
regard to social responsibility and sustainable
development,
• are able to apply methods of scientific problem solving
in order to be able to successfully analyze and process
new types of problems in an increasingly complex
technical environment.
• see their field in an overall societal context and be able
to assume their responsibility in such a context. This
enables them to understand and influence technological
change in research, development and application.
Graduates have learned to work responsibly and in a team-
oriented manner and to critically review and evaluate their
own and other work results. With a view to future
interdisciplinary professional tasks, the ability to
communicate professional knowledge to others is trained.
 137
The master's degree in aerospace engineering enables
graduates to work at the current level of the respective
technology and to develop future technologies. A close link
between research and teaching ensures the transfer of new
developments in aerospace into the courses. This enables
graduates to implement the latest research results in
engineering applications.
The master's degree program in Aerospace Engineering
(Aero- nautics and Astronautics) sets the stage for lifelong
learning throughout a student's professional life.
Description of the study program
The master's degree program in aerospace engineering deals
with the design, development, production, and operation of
aerospace vehicles, their subsystems, and the associated
transportation systems. These systems are characterized by
their complexity and their continuous technological
development. For this, the TU Berlin with its complete
coverage of all subfields of aerospace engineering has the
necessary overall system capability.
Students are enabled to solve challenging problems
scientifically and are prepared to hold leading positions in
industry and science. To this end, the courses offered in the
master's program in aerospace engineering comprise a wide
range of modules with a strong methodological focus and a
deep understanding of the overall systems in aerospace
(vehicles, infrastructures and operations). As a result,
students develop a strong system design competence.
The curriculum of the Aeronautics and Astronautics master's
program includes all areas related to the construction and
operation of aircraft and space systems. Examples of these
areas include: Design, Computation, Construction,
Aerodynamics, Propulsion, Flight Control, Air Traffic, and
Planning. The teaching in the Master's program in Aerospace
Engineering is composed of theoretical and experimental
parts, in which both application-oriented content related to
the professional practice of engineers and in-depth
engineering methods are taught. In project and team-oriented
courses, creative collaboration in interdisciplinary groups is
encouraged.
The specialist focus of the master's degree program and the
breadth of the options guarantee an individual specialist and
professional profile. Due to the international as well as
economic, legal and political character of aerospace,
knowledge of the English language as well as communication
and teamwork skills are of elementary importance. For this
reason, students can freely choose a large number of modules
and strengthen their personal educational profile. Thus,
economic and social science study contents enable students to
recognize macroeconomic and social contexts and to take
them into account in their professional work.
Professional fields of activity
In the Master's program in Aerospace Engineering (Aero-
nautics and Astronautics), students are taught in-depth
knowledge and skills, depending on their interests, which
enable graduates to work in relevant companies, government
agencies and scientific institutions in the aerospace sector.
work. By imparting general skills and teaching content,
understanding the overall systems in aerospace and
emphasizing the methodological aspects, graduates are also
given the opportunity to find a variety of fields of activity
outside of aerospace technology, such as in general
mechanical engineering, vehicle construction or electrical
engineering.
Examples of areas of work include:
• Design, development and manufacture of vehicles
and aerospace systems,
• Evaluation and integration of new technologies,
• Planning, development and management of
complex networked aerospace systems,
• Preparation of plans and studies for air traffic systems,
• Develop guidelines for the use, operation, and
monitoring of aerospace vehicles, aerospace systems,
and infrastructures,
• Planning of air traffic infrastructures (airfields, handling
facilities and air traffic control facilities),
• Investigations into the safety and environmental
compatibility of aerospace systems and associated
infrastructures,
• application-oriented basic research.
§ 4 - Start of studies, standard period of study and scope of
studies
(1) The program begins in the winter and summer semesters.
(2) The standard period of study, including the preparation
of the master's thesis, comprises four semesters.
(3) The scope of study of the master's program is 120 credit
points.
(4) The teaching program as well as the entire examination
procedure are designed and organized in such a way that the
degree program can be completed within the standard period
of study.
§ 5 - Structure of the study program
(1) Students have the right to organize their course of study
individually. However, they are obliged to comply with the
requirements of these study and examination regulations. The
sequence of modules is recommended by the exemplary study
plan as Appendix 2 of these regulations.
(2) A total of 120 credit points must be earned, of which 96 LP
in modules, 6 LP in the internship and 18 LP in the Master's
thesis.
(3) The compulsory elective area has a scope of 72 LP and is
divided into
1. the engineering methods area in the scope of
12-18 LP,
which serves to deepen methods that can be
applied across the board and advanced
fundamentals based on mathematics and physics,
2. the core area to the extent of 24-42 LP,
which contains the modules essential for the
respective specialization and
3. the profile area in the scope of 18-36 LP,
which comprises the subject-specific and/or in-
depth modules of the respective specialization.
 138
The modules and elective rules assigned to each of the sub-
areas of the elective area can be found in the module list
(Appendix 1).
(4) In the elective area, modules amounting to 24 LP must be
completed. Elective modules serve the acquisition of additional
subject-specific, interdisciplinary and professional skills and
can be selected from the entire range of subjects offered by the
Technische Universität Berlin, other universities and
equivalent universities within the scope of the Higher
Education Framework Act as well as at universities and
universities abroad recognized as equivalent. The modules that
can be selected also include modules for learning foreign
languages.
It is recommended to choose courses of interdisciplinary
studies that complement the subject-related studies in a
meaningful and coherent way. These supplements can serve,
for example, to strengthen leadership, communication and
conflict management skills, to deepen economic and scientific
skills and/or in the area of foreign languages, to learn technical
terms, to publish in foreign languages and to prepare for
studies abroad. The courses also serve to prepare students for
study visits abroad.
