Aerospace Engineering

How do you ensure that a satellite is launched into orbit around the earth or how do you design a micro-aircraft that can save people's lives? While studying Aerospace Engineering at TU Delft you will learn all of this and much more. In order to design, build and work with aircraft or satellites, you need to have knowledge of a range of different disciplines and know how to combine them. You come into contact with technologies and materials from the aerospace industry every day. GPS tracking and weather forecasting are both made possible by the presence of satellites in space. The mirrors on a lorry or car have been designed in such a way as to generate as little resistance as possible. And just try to imagine how much food is transported by air every single day. The field is broad and challenging. It is not limited to the aviation and space industry. In addition to specialist disciplines you also learn to work in teams, compromise, find solutions for complex problems and communicate effectively.

TU Delft is the largest and oldest Dutch public technical university, founded in 1842. Ranked #47 worldwide and consistently in the top 20 for engineering subjects. Known for cutting-edge research in aerospace, water management, and sustainable energy, with alumni including famous architect Rem Koolhaas.
