Solve your doubts
Who is the Master addressed to?
The recommended profile for admission to the Master's Degree is to be in possession of a university degree in Engineering, Science or its equivalent. However, the Master's Academic Committee may consider other academic degrees for admission, after analyzing the student's curriculum.
For students who have not yet completed their university studies, but are close to completing them, the Master's Academic Committee may authorize enrollment. However, once they have passed the Master's program, they will not be able to apply for the degree until they have official documentation proving that they have completed their university degree. In the meantime, the Master's Secretary's Office may issue a certificate of completion.
Where is the Master's program offered?
The Master's Degree is mostly taught at the School of Engineering of the University of Huelva (Huelva) and at the "CEUS-CEDEA" centers of the National Institute of Aerospace Technology (Moguer).
How long is the Master's program?
The Master has a duration of 450 hours spread over approximately 8 months (from November to June of the following year). The course, which includes academic and practical activities at the University of Huelva and at the National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA), starts at the beginning of November and ends at the end of June of the following year. During the whole course the students will carry out the Master's Final Project.
What are the career opportunities?
- Design and construction of civil and military RPAS.
- Propulsion, power sources and energy.
- Control, navigation and simulation systems.
- Avionics, communications and networks.
- Civilian and military payloads.
- Civilian and military RPAS operations and maintenance.
- RPAS regulations, qualification and certification.
- Entrepreneurship option for the creation of your own company.
What is the cost of the Master?
The Master has a cost of 6.000€, which can be paid in 2 installments.
How many students are admitted per course?
A maximum of 30 students are admitted for each edition of the Master in order to guarantee the quality of training and the individualized follow-up of each student.
How are students selected?
Upon pre-enrollment, students must submit documentation regarding their university education and curriculum vitae which, once analyzed by the Master's Academic Committee, allows establishing an order of priority to carry out the enrollment. At all times the student is personally informed of the process.
When does the academic year begin and end?
The academic and practical activities at the University of Huelva (UHU) and at the National Institute of Aerospace Technology (INTA), begin at the beginning of November and end at the end of June of the following year. During the whole course the students will carry out the Master's Final Project.
