Educational organisation

The first three semesters comprise all theoretical modules and will be held in Singapore together with the partner university Nanyang Technological University (NTU). The last semester includes the mandatory six-month Master's thesis.

The joint Master of Science in Aerospace Engineering will provide graduates with an in-depth knowledge in the field of aerospace engineering focusing on the areas of aeronautical and space design and research. The programme is taught jointly by international academics from NTU and TUM faculty who have extensive experience both in university research and education as well as in global industrial product development and management. The non-technical subjects are taught by respective experts from the industry. Lectures will be held at the NTU campus in Singapore. Students who have passed all examinations will be awarded a joint Master's degree from NTU and TUM.

Study abroad unit(s)

The modules will be held in Singapore, the internship and Master's thesis will take place in either Germany or Singapore.

Internships

Two months for students in Germany/Europe or Singapore

Forms of assessment

Each module has a continuous and final exam assessment part. We use a credit point system. Final transcripts contain international and German grading.

Course objectives

In addition to a sound and industry-relevant education with practical use for a professional career, one of our ambitions is to immerse students from all over the world into foreign cultures, languages, history and way of life. This is why our programme entails:
  • The spirit of international relations
  • Leadership in multinational teams
  • Courses in business administration, management, law, culture, ancient and modern history of both Asia and Europe
  • Exchange programmes to Europe/Germany and Asia
  • An intercultural ambience
  • Optional language courses to learn the German language

  • TOEFL: minimum 605 for paper-based test, 234 for computer-based test, 88 for internet-based test
  • IELTS: overall IELTS results of at least 6.5

Academic requirements

Applicants must have completed at least a Bachelor's degree (Honours) or European/German FH Diploma or its equivalent in the areas of aerospace/mechanical engineering or a closely related discipline from a university of recognised standing, with at least Upper Second Class Honours or equivalent.

Enrolment fees

Approx. 115 EUR per semester

Costs of living

Around 1,000 SGD per month in Singapore and around 700 EUR per month in Munich for accommodation, living, health insurance, books and miscellaneous expenses

Funding opportunities within the university

Limited scholarships from renowned partners in the aerospace industry and TUM Asia scholarships are provided for outstanding students.

Arrival support

We provide information upon arrival in Singapore and Munich. We assist in visa issues. We also offer an orientation week for new students with information on residence permits, insurance, etc.

Accommodation

It is not easy to find a place to live in Munich - but it is not impossible either! TUM supports students and employees in their search for accommodation, providing personal advice, in-house listings and useful information to ensure that you can quickly find a place to call your own: http://www.tum.de/en/university-life/accommodations/
With high rents and not enough rooms in halls of residence, the Munich rental market is one of the most competitive in Germany - especially for students. The city boasts over 1.4 million inhabitants, with more people moving to Munich every year - many of them attracted by the excellent study opportunities that Munich has to offer.
Student halls of residence usually offer affordable accommodation for students. The Munich Student Union runs most of these halls of residence - more information at http://www.studentenwerk-muenchen.de/en/accommodation/
