THE MASTER’S DEGREES OF POLIBA | INTERUNIVERSITY DEGREE WITH UNISALENTO
Master’s Degree Programme in Aerospace Engineering | Politecnico di Bari – University of Salento
Overview
The interuniversity Master’s Degree Programme between Polytechnic University of Bari e University of Salento and Aerospace Engineering aims to provide an advanced educational offering in the field of design, development, and management of aerospace systems, with specific reference to fluid dynamics, propulsion, structures, and onboard systems.
The study programme is structured into two curricula taught in English: Aerospace Design (delivered at the Lecce campus) and Aeronautics Design (delivered at the Taranto campus).
INTERUNIVERSITY DEGREE IN AEROSPACE ENGINEERING | WITH UNISALENTO
Educational Objectives
The study programme is designed to be compatible with the skills of students coming from a first-cycle education not specifically in aerospace, providing a solid foundation integrated with the fundamentals of Fluid Dynamics and Flight Mechanics, as well as numerical methods for engineering.
In the second year, the programme enables students to acquire professional skills in the various core areas, from the development of specific competencies in onboard systems for aerospace and space vehicles, to the certification and safety of the vehicle’s mechanical and structural components, both on the hardware and software sides.
Duration
The expected duration for the completion of this Course is 2 years.
Language
Classes, seminars, and laboratories are conducted in English language.
Admission

The Skills
The graduate in Aerospace Engineering has a solid multidisciplinary background oriented toward innovation and the management of complex systems. They will be able to address the design of aerospace components and systems by integrating requirements of reliability, safety, and environmental sustainability.
Through the use of advanced numerical tools and laboratory activities, the student develops critical skills for fluid-dynamic and structural analysis, as well as for managing the lifecycle of aeronautical and space products.
EMPLOYMENT OUTCOMES
Professional opportunities
The graduate may perform tasks related to the design, production, maintenance, and operational use of aircraft and airport infrastructure. They may find employment at:
- Large national and multinational companies in the aeronautical and space sector;
- Small and medium-sized enterprises supplying components or consulting services;
- Airport management and logistics companies;
- Public bodies for flight certification and safety (ENAC, ENAV);
- Research and technological development centres.
The degree qualifies, subject to passing the State Examination, for enrolment in theRegister of Engineers, Section A.
PROSEGUIMENTO DEGLI STUDI
Subsequent Training
The graduate in Aerospace Engineering, with a particular aptitude for research and study, may continue their academic path by accessing research doctorate programmes in the engineering field, both at the Politecnico di Bari and at the University of Salento.
