Curriculum

The Special Master of Aerospace Engineering (code: 28400) is a two-year program. However, it reduces to a one-year program for students having a master degree (or an equivalent degree) in the area of aerospace engineering. The latter are enrolled directly as second-year students.

All courses are taught in English.

 

The title will be awarded once acquired at least 120 CFU (credits). to be reduced to at least 60 CFU for one-year program.

The courses shall be selected following a standard curriculum, or proposing a personal one, depending on student's own interests. The latter is especially suggested for the students following a one-year program. While the standard curriculum is automatically accepted, the personal one shall be submitted to the School's board for approval. Students are invited to reach professors Fabio Celani (fabio.celani@uniroma1.it) and Giovanni Palmerini (giovanni.palmerini@uniroma1.it) to present their request; a distribution of the courses among different field (flight mechanics, structures, systems, propulsion, electronics) is encouraged.

The standard curriculum for students that enroll in the academic year 2024-2025 is presented in the following tables. A personal curriculum can be designed by selecting the courses listed in the tables without strictly following the mandatory/optional indications and/or the year.

Each curriculum shall be completed by the final dissertation (thesis, https://sia.web.uniroma1.it/en/node/5790 ), contributing to the grand total (either 120 or 60 CFUs) with 24 credits.
