Faculty of Aeronautics and Astronautics | Aerospace Engineering (English)

Profile of the Programme

New technologies, rapid developments in the design and production of aerospace vehicles increase the need for graduates trained in this field day by day. In addition, the continuous advancement of aerospace technology brings with it the need for innovations in areas such as lighter materials, efficient engines, safe, coordinated, efficient and environmentally friendly execution of aerospace operations, automation, artificial intelligence and human factors, which are becoming increasingly widespread in the field. In this context, the Aerospace Engineering program aims to educate engineers who have the knowledge and skills required by their profession, who can continuously renew themselves, who have professional and ethical responsibility, who are modern, creative, able to produce projects, who have developed safety, environmental and social awareness, and to conduct and disseminate research that will contribute to the development of knowledge and technologies needed by society in the fields of aerospace.

The medium of instruction of our undergraduate program is English. The duration of the undergraduate program is 4 years. In addition, students who do not pass the English placement test are required to attend and successfully complete a one-year English preparatory class before taking the department courses.
