Professional opportunities

Professional opportunities

The master’s degree in Aerospace Engineering is a qualifying master’s degree, that is, it qualifies holders to practise the regulated profession of aerospace engineer in Spain because it confers the specific competencies established in national legislation that are required for professional practice.

The activity of aerospace engineers spans the entire aerospace sector, both the production side (design, development and manufacture) of all kinds of aerospace vehicles, the various elements that they are composed of and their operation and maintenance, and the logistics side associated with their use and operation, including airport easements and air navigation and traffic (aerospace control, management and exploitation, which include machinery and software for aerospace support systems and their interrelation). Their activity may also take place in the framework of aerospace infrastructure, the focus of which is the design, construction, use and maintenance of the infrastructure that supports their activity. They are professionals who are capable of applying aerospace science and technology and developing new technologies. They are also fully qualified to certify aerospace vehicles, aerospace logistics systems and, in particular, airports and air navigation systems.
