Introduction
Every day, freight trains, trucks, airplanes, and ships transport enormous quantities of raw materials and manufactured goods around the world, while billions of people travel for work and leisure in the same manner. The Aerospace engineering profile of this master's program will prepare you to meet the ever-changing demands of the industry with a particular focus on how aircraft, space vehicles, and their propulsion systems are designed, developed, and operated.
Over the coming decades, technical solutions to make aviation more sustainable and efficient will be essential — and those educated in the field will be in huge demand. As a student in this program, you will sharpen your fundamental engineering skills, preparing to solve all manner of real-world issues in your future career. You will also collaborate with industrial partners and have access to our world-class fluids lab for modeling and programming. The profile is designed to allow you to complement your knowledge with elective courses forming a method specialization in three alternative areas: fluids, structural, and artificial intelligence.
Aerospace research at Chalmers has a prominent position and we are frequently the largest benefiter among Swedish universities within the national flight research program. Chalmers is also well-positioned in European research activities and has a very strong industry network. Research strongholds are in propulsion systems, fluid-solid- and material mechanics and manufacturing as well as radar and AI technology. Research tasks range from developing new models and computational methods in fluid, solid and material mechanics, production simulations, experimental investigation of heat flows and aerodynamics in new types of propulsion systems as well as understanding how aerospace can transition to become a sustainable part of the transport system.
The program as whole addresses the critical industries of aerospace engineering, automotive engineering, marine technology, and railway technology, with the option to specialize in one in particular. Graduates from the Mobility engineering program at Chalmers will be qualified to take up professional roles within research and development, design, and simulation of processes, systems, and parts of automotive, railway, aerospace, and maritime vehicles or other mechanical systems. Both the holistic approach and the possibility for in-depth studies provided in the program also offer a suitable background when aiming for a career or role within academic research, technical support, sales, manufacturing, or management at different levels.
Alongside the specific entry requirements for the whole program, students pursuing this profile will need to have prior knowledge of fluid mechanics. Depending on the selected area of interest, a background in the strength of materials will be required.
General entry requirements
A Bachelor's degree in Science, Engineering, Technology, or Architecture
To fulfill the general entry requirement for a Master's program at Chalmers (at advanced level/the second cycle), the prospective student must hold a degree that is equivalent to a Swedish Bachelor's degree (minimum 3 years, 180 Swedish higher education credits) in either Science, Engineering, Technology or Architecture.
- All applicants must document their formal academic qualifications to prove their eligibility. Only documentation from internationally recognized universities will be approved by the Swedish Council for Higher Education which manages the website universityadmissions.se.
- If an applicant is also a holder of a second degree such as a Master's degree, that may be to fulfill specific (course) requirements, it cannot be used to fulfill the general entry requirement on its own.
In your final year of Bachelor's Studies
Students in their last year of studies who don't yet have documentation of their soon-to-be-completed degree can be accepted.
Restrictions
Degrees that are constructed on one another cannot consist of the same course
Applicants who fulfill the general entry requirements for the second cycle (master’s level) programs and eventually specific entry requirements can be admitted to a master’s program. Applicants cannot be evaluated as unqualified in the qualifying academic merits which include courses from the program’s plan in those programs that they have applied for if that occurs.
Courses included in an earned first cycle degree (bachelor’s level) or professional qualification of at least 180 cr. (180hp) or the equivalent foreign qualification that are prerequisites for master’s qualifications may not be included in the higher qualifications. This also applies to prerequisite courses for master’s programs, regardless of whether they are included in the underlying qualification. *
*) Local Qualifications Framework for Chalmers University of Technology - first and second cycle qualifications.
Restrictions for Citizens from the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea)
Chalmers cannot admit applicants with citizenship of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea only to any program or course, due to the Council Regulation (EU) 2017/1509 of 30 August 2017 concerning restrictive measures against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and repealing Regulation (EC) 329/2007.
For applicants with double citizenship of which one is of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the other of another country, the citizenship of the other country has precedence in this respect.
