International Master’s in Transfers-Fluids-Materials in Aeronautical and Space Applications (TFM-ASA)

The Transfers-Fluids-Materials in Aeronautical and Space Applications (TFM-ASA) is a joint international Master’s programme offered by Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (Germany), Université de Bordeaux (France), and Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium). This interdisciplinary programme focuses on advanced studies in aerodynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, turbulence, propulsion, combustion, turbomachinery, and materials science, with direct relevance to aircraft, spacecraft, and drone technologies. Students benefit from a structured mobility scheme, spending one semester at each partner university and conducting their Master’s thesis at one of the institutions. The programme emphasizes collaboration between academic research centres and industry, fostering innovation in aerospace engineering.

• Study advanced topics in aerodynamics, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics with a focus on aerospace applications.
• Conduct research in turbulence, propulsion systems, and turbomachinery under the guidance of international faculty.
• Participate in a structured mobility scheme, spending one semester at each of the three partner universities (Bordeaux, Louvain-la-Neuve, Cottbus).
• Develop and present a Master’s thesis on a topic aligned with aerospace or space applications, chosen in collaboration with supervisors.
• Engage in collaborative projects with industrial and academic partners to bridge research and real-world applications.
• Attend interdisciplinary courses and seminars that integrate mechanical, thermal, and material sciences.
