msc ama
Master of Science in Aerospace
Mechanics and Avionics
Head of program major Helicopter engineering
■■ Prof. Anis HOR
E-mail: [email protected]
Duration of studies: Two year full time
Beginning of classes: September
Location: ISAE
Teaching language: English.
■ Aims
The Master of Science in Aerospace Mechanics and Avionics
is a two-year studies program that allows students to develop
a high level of competences in engineering science, current
technology and design related to aeronautics and space.
It aims at preparing students for careers in the aerospace
industry and research in Europe and worldwide. The program
consists of a total of 4 semesters of 30 ECTS each, i.e. 120
ECTS credits for the whole program. The MSc AMA starts
with a first semester emphasizing aerospace engineering and
control to prepare students to the majors to be selected for
semesters two and three: «aerodynamics», «aircraft control and
guidance» or «aeronautical structures». Five majors are offered
in semester 3 covering the main domains of aircraft and space
vehicle domains. Students have strong opportunities to develop
scientific skills through research projects in ISAE’s laboratories
and practical skills during internships in aerospace industry.

■ Pedagogical approach
The ISAE Master’s programs are designed with a combination
of lectures, personal project and assignments and thesis
projects to be performed in industrial environment or in ISAE’s
laboratories. They are taught in English.
The MSc AMA program includes three-semester academic
session, in ISAE’s premises, provided by permanent professors
and experts from aerospace industry bringing current
knowledge and experience, including: lectures, tutorials, case
study, personal project in laboratory and industrial visits.
The last semester consists in master thesis to be performed
in a company or a laboratory in the aerospace sector. After
the project, students having obtained 120 credits under
examination will be awarded the Master of Science in
Aerospace Mechanics and Avionics from ISAE.

Toulouse is at the hub of the European aerospace industry,
and hosts leading European engineering and postgraduate
institutions.
The majority of graduates find positions in the aerospace
industry (aircraft, engine and equipment manufacturers), and
government agencies all over the world.
They have senior positions in industry as researchers, experts,
and heads of projects or managers.
Several MSc AMA graduates are recruited for PhD studies at
ISAE or other worldwide universities.
