A word from the Director of Masters Programs
Are you looking for a high-level training, master’s degree or advanced master’s degree, to prepare you to enter the fascinating world of aeronautics and space? The Institut Supérieur de l’Aéronautique et de l’Espace (ISAE) can help you to make this project a reality. ISAE is now a major world actor in the training of engineers and masters in aerospace, and the leader in Europe in number of graduates. The Institute’s reputation is not built just on its prestigious programs, the renown of its faculty staff or the excellence of its research, but also on the quality of its graduates, their technical and managerial skills, their ability to work in an advanced high-tech sector, their entrepreneurial spirit and their international openness. Our programs are offered on the SUPAERO campus or at our educational partners’, chosen for their expertise. Classes are taught by permanent ISAE faculty staff and a unique network of several hundred affiliate professors from research centers and European aerospace companies. Projects are an important part of our programs, whether they are performed in our research laboratories or within ISAE partner companies. In this way, we ensure that our students’ training is constantly evolving and always adapted to the needs of companies. Our “internship and careers” office assists each individual student in the construction of their professional plans and integration into the professional world. Today, over one third of ISAE graduates are not French. On the SUPAERO campus, in the heart of the scientific complex of Toulouse, our 1,600 engineering, master’s, advanced master’s and PhD students are immersed in an international environment that is unique in Europe. Tomorrow they will be the leaders of the international aerospace industry. On the campus, they establish relationships developed afterwards within the worldwide ISAE graduate network, led by the alumni association. We have a vision to offer you: an exciting life of excellence by choosing ISAE. We hope to share this goal with you by welcoming you to one of our programs at the beginning of the 2013 school year.

4 Masters of Science and Advanced Masters
In the heart of the European aerospace pole, ISAE (from the merger of prostgraduate schools of engineering SUPAERO and ENSICA) has developed a wide set of master’s programs in aeronautics, space, embedded systems and management to provide global aerospace industry with high qualified engineers and managers. To satisfy the international demand in terms of junior and senior engineers and managers, ISAE offered two types of degrees: Master of Science and Advanced Master.
Master of Science (Master) Advanced Master (Mastère Master of Science is a two-year degree undertaken Spécialisé) after undergraduate studies, Bachelor’s degrees or equivalent. It provides higher qualification for The “Mastère Spécialisé” is a collective trademark owned employment or for further doctoral studies. The master is by the «Conférence des Grandes Ecoles», given to specific accredited by the Ministry of Higher Education and Research training programs organized by one of the «Ecoles» that is a in line with the Bologna process established in 1999 to member of the Conference. The highly rigorous accreditation harmonize the European higher education systems by making process ensures the outstanding excellence of the training academic degree standards and quality assurance standards programs over the course of the studies. more comparable and compatible throughout Europe. Advanced Master is a one-year course of advanced The two-year Masters of Science of ISAE are to be considered studies, professionally-oriented, undertaken after as innovative programs in science and technologies and master’s studies. Advanced Masters delivered by ISAE are well-known amongst international Masters of Science provide attendees with unique up-to-date knowledge and worldwide. ISAE’s Masters aim to educate future engineers know-how in a specific domain for which aeronautics or to respond effectively and rapidly to demanding needs of the space companies have a genuine need. Courses are given aerospace industry. They are designed with a combination by specialists or experts from industry or state organisations of lectures, tutorials, research project, assignments and completed by ISAE’s professors. ISAE’s Advanced Masters master thesis performed in industrial environment or in ISAE’s merge theoretical lectures, tutorials, case studies and laboratories. personal projects to prepare attendees with aerospace system approaches. Being attentive to the aerospace global market Fully taught in English, they are particularly suitable for needs, the worldwide enrolment of attendees with a wide students with a bachelor’s degree in mechanical, electrical, range of qualifications, profiles, cultures and professional mechatronics, aeronautics or aerospace background. experiences offer an outstanding opportunity to develop Interweaving the teaching of both masters, ISAE wishes international personal skills and strengthen employment several options to enable graduates envisaging their capabilities after graduation. professional career with confidence in accordance with their ISAE’s Advanced Masters allow students to acquire: wishes and interests. >> in-depth and advanced knowledge in professional area, >> dual competency, >> professional skills related to an emerging function.
6 main reasons to choose an ISAE’s master

As ISAE the practice. This research experience not only developed my is the best European school for aeronautics, I’m very grateful for professional knowledge but also enhanced my practical skills. AIRBUS and ISAE gave me this opportunity to make my dream Besides, I have finished my design project in ENSICA campus, come true. During the two years at ISAE, we had classes not which is about the center wing box conception project. I am in only in technologies but also in lots of other domains, such charge of the structure design in CATIA, detailed calculation as management, language and culture. More than half of of the loads and analysis of the fatigue life of the center wing the classes are given by professors who are come from the box.
