Furthermore, continuous evaluation, based on assignments and quizzes during the course period, amounts to no less than 40% of the final grade in the ordinary call. Therefore, those people willing to coordinate a professional internship with the Master study are strongly recommended either to enroll part-time or, preferably, postpone the internship to the second Master year.

Requirements

Can access the master anyone who is in possession of a bachelor degree in the branch of aerospace engineering that gives access to the Master's degree that gives professional accreditation to work as Aeronautical Technical Engineer in Spain or a degree that provides equivalent competences.

The admission criteria for this Master's Degree are set out in the Order CIN/355/2009, February 9.

Admission criteria

Admission will be decided by the MAE Academic Committee. Candidate selection will be done on the basis of the following criteria:

* To score in this section, a level higher than B2 is required, that is, levels C1, C2, and proven experience having attended teaching in English-speaking engineering for at least 2 years.
 

The personal statement by the candidate (compulsory, written in English and with a maximum extension of 2 pages) should explain concisely the motivation of the student for joining the Master, whether part-time or full-time enrollment is planned, the main areas of interest within the Master syllabus, and the professional plans after finishing it.

Reference letters on the candidate academic achievements are optional. They are mainly suggested for candidates coming from foreign Institutions or holding Bachelor degrees that could be less familiar to the Master Academic Committee, and thus more difficult to assess.

As reference B2 corresponds to a  First Certificate in English (Cambridge), IELTS 6.0 (or higher), or equivalent.
