Aerospace Engineering, B.Sc.
In the aerospace engineering course, everything revolves around flying, inside and outside the earth's atmosphere. Are you interested in airplanes, helicopters, rockets and satellites? Then you've come to the right place.
The University of Stuttgart is the only civil university in Germany that enables you to this focus in your bachelor's degree. In addition to scientific and mathematical skills, you will acquire engineering and application-oriented knowledge during your studies. In questions and applications, you work on aerospace topics right from the start.

What the tuition fee consists of
Will I get in
The programme has an admission restriction: the average grade of your certificate, converted to the German scale, decides. The cut-off changes every year — last year's value shows the order of magnitude, not a promise.
How the selection works and how strong the competition is — we go through it against your certificate when we select programmes for you.
Programme selection →What you study
In the first three semesters you will deal with the mathematical, scientific and engineering fundamentals. They attend courses in higher mathematics, physics, information technology, technical mechanics, materials science and design theory. The second half is dominated by application-oriented engineering disciplines such as statics, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, aerospace, systems engineering and aeronautical engineering/drives.
The full curriculum and the programme's parameters are part of programme selection: we compare them with your profile.
Pick programmesCareer
As the name of the course suggests, graduates can later work in the aerospace industry in development and research. In their work, they deal, for example, with new airplanes, helicopters, satellites or carrier systems (rockets).

But aerospace engineering graduates are also in demand in other sectors. Because the fundamentals-oriented structure of the course makes it possible to switch to other areas.
Aerospace engineering students can often be found in the following sectors after their studies:
- Airlines
- Mechanical engineering and automotive industry
- Energy technology and supply
- Engine Industry
- Engineering offices
- Research institutions
- Management Consultancies
- governmental institutions

The procedure and the set of documents depend on your certificate. We check the university's requirements against your documents and give you a list: what to submit, how to certify and translate it, where and when to apply.
Check the requirementsHow to get into this programme
- 1Check your certificate and its recognitionDirect admission, a year at a university at home, or Studienkolleg first — this decides the whole plan.
- 2Documents and translationsCertified translations of the certificate and transcript, an APS if required. 3–4 weeks.
- 3Application directly to the university until 15.07Send the documents well before the deadline — an incomplete application cannot be completed after it.
- 4Admission, visa, movingPlan 2–3 months for the visa and the blocked account in parallel.
How to apply
You can submit the application yourself or with our help — the university decides on admission in both cases.
Applications go through the university's portal or uni-assist. Typical mistakes:
- ×incorrectly made certified copies and translations
- ×a wrong set of documents
- ×the application submitted the wrong way
- ×errors or gaps in the application form
- ×the application submitted at the wrong time — too early or too late
An incomplete or incorrectly prepared application is excluded from the selection — it can no longer be corrected after the deadline.
StudyInFocus does not represent the university and does not influence the admission decision. We do not sell study places and do not guarantee admission — this is a service for preparing and submitting documents on the applicant's side.
If your level is not enough yet
The two most common stoppers are a language level below the requirement and a certificate without direct admission. Both can be solved, but they take months — plan them now, not after a rejection.
