Introduction
You will gain knowledge of aerodynamics and flight mechanics, aircraft design, and materials. You will learn the principles of designing aircraft so that they are reliable and economical means of transport. You can verify that everything works in practice in the laboratories at the Institute of Aerospace Engineering, or you can become a member of the Chicken Wings student team and participate in competitions in Europe and the USA. And you will learn something about space research, drones, and their rescue systems, as well as aircraft certification processes. As an expert in aircraft and their construction, you can be employed in any aerospace company – from small manufacturers of gliders, and aerobatic aircraft to the world's largest manufacturers such as Airbus and Boeing. Any Czech or multinational company offers dozens of vacancies with a very good financial evaluation.
The focus of the two-year follow-up Master's degree program is on academic competencies and students are provided with advanced education in the field of aircraft design.
The student of mechanical engineering design will be acquainted with branches of physics (aerodynamics and mechanics of flight), design rules and procedures for aircraft design (atmospheric or cosmic), and will be presented with individual aircraft systems. Moreover, the graduates will be equipped with knowledge of aircraft design, methods for aerodynamic analysis, aerodynamics formulas, load determination methods, and strength analysis. Our students will be able to design aircraft systems and analyze the reliability of the systems.
As part of their studies, students will also get acquainted with English aviation terminology and will take part in appropriate language training. As a part of their thesis, they will be required, under professional supervision, to come up with a technical solution to an engineering problem.
The main goal of the follow-up Master’s degree program is to prepare professionals who can pursue a career in the field, in technology companies in the Czech Republic or abroad.

Program Outcome
The curriculum of our program is designed to give the student well-rounded knowledge of aviation and aerospace. The students will be equipped with theoretical knowledge of aircraft design processes. They will acquire knowledge of aerodynamics, flight mechanics, theory of strength of aircraft structure, and aircraft design. Moreover, they will get acquainted with the theory of reliability and service life of aircraft structures.
The program focuses on several key professional competences and skills in the field of theory of aircraft structure strength theory, construction, and aircraft design. The student will also learn about structural materials, their processing and the effective use of weight when designing aircraft structure load-bearing parts. Moreover, the students will also learn the principles of designing aircraft with respect to production and operation technologies.
The graduate can pursue their career in design, mechanical engineering design, or research and development departments in the aviation industry in the Czech Republic or abroad, basically everywhere where they can use their knowledge of design and production and systems with high durability. With the knowledge acquired, they can also participate in engineering activities dealing with the flow.
What Degree Programme Types May Have Preceded
Graduates of The Programme Have the Opportunity to Continue in Doctoral Study Programme with A Focus on The Aircraft Design Which Is a Part of Design and Process Engineering Programme. Fme but Is Also Accredited for Habilitation and Professorship in The Field of Design and Process Engineering.
The Content of The Programme Is Identical with Aircraft Design Study Branch Which Is a Part of Aerospace Technology Programme that Is Taught in Czech Language.
Career Opportunities
Graduates can find a job in the aviation industry (Aero Vodochody, Aircraft industries, HONEYWELL, GE Aviation Czech) and many other smaller companies, but also in research at universities (BUT, CTU) and other research institutions (VZLU Prague) or abroad (Airbus IW) as well as in other industries. Thanks to the dynamic growth of the aviation industry and transport, our graduates have great employment prospects.
