Entry Qualification To this programme applicants are accepted from the fields of: Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Transport Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Physics.

Why this programme?

Curiosity, desire to construct, freedom to put your personal ideas into practice and develop a start-up - all these features fit under this master-degree study program. It is like a two-year long hackathon, where the science-based design of a prototype will become the major source of future skills. 

We see innovation in aeronautics as an interdisciplinary product, thereby your knowledge in the fields of electronics, mechanics, IT, transportation, aeronautics and any other branch of engineering will facilitate your team and provide the competitive advantage over the others. 

Everyone who seeks their education at the aeronautical engineering Master’s level should have background knowledge in aerodynamics, aircraft structures, mechanics and aircraft engine types. These courses are available online before the study process begins. All were prepared by the best technical universities in world including MIT, and TU Delft. 

The students of the current study program will develop the prototypes in teams, therefore individuals who seek like-minded partners or the groups with a unified idea are welcome to apply. 

The teams will be provided with the consultations by the experienced businesspeople, light on the start-up development will be shed by qualified mentors and the „Futurepreneurs“ program. 

The aim of the study program is to prepare highly qualified specialists who have acquired interdisciplinary and novel knowledge in the field of aeronautical engineering. These specialists are capable of constructing satellite systems and their elements, overcoming engineering challenges while developing industrial UAVs, conducting interdisciplinary research and applying the obtained results to prototype and innovation development. 

Experts and experienced scientists will help to put the project into practice in one of these fields: drones (UAVs), nano-satellites, 3D printing in aeronautics, military innovation in aeronautics. 

Drones (UAVs). Nowadays, unmanned technologies are widely applied in agriculture, scouting, inspection and scanning, however, their application in specific fields is in its early stages and therefore it creates huge innovation opportunities. 
While working on a prototype, you will investigate aircraft automation, flight characteristics, beneficial cargo, aircraft reliability, power-plant systems, aircraft systems and other fields where UAVs could be applied.

Nano-satellites. Along with the Millennium the new era of small satellites has evolved. Currently, for the commercial purposes more than a half of all small satellites is being used, however soon enough this number will increase up to 70%. 
The other part of small satellites suits military purposes, academic research and other civil needs. Generally speaking, at this moment small satellites may perform the same functions as the big ones and these are widely used in Earth observation and telecommunications. 
While working on a prototype, you will investigate mechanical, electronic and IT systems of small satellites and will focus on system design, manufacturing and integration tasks. 

3D printing in aeronautics. 3D printing is a rather new but a fast-growing technology. It ensures rapid development and manufacturing time of complex structures used for small objects was reduced drastically with its invention. 
In the world arena aviation takes the leading position in terms of usage of 3D printing technologies. This should not come as a surprise as the technology allows cheap and rapid manufacturing of low weight structures, the manufacturing of which is currently very expensive. In the future wider application of the technology will minimise the time of production process, fuel consumption and thereby, will lead to cheaper air travel. 
While working on a prototype, you will investigate the application of 3D printing technology in aircraft and aircraft structure manufacturing, evaluate 3D printing opportunities and mechanical properties of the designed pieces. 

Military innovation in aeronautics. Military industry usually comes way ahead of other industries in terms of innovation and new technology application. Aviation is not an exception. 
Majority of decisions in the modern civil aviation and public sector were applied from the defence industry. One of the most prominent examples are UAVs.
While working on a prototype, you will overcome public safety and defence obstacles, will familiarise yourself with already existing decisions, propose innovation based on aeronautical engineering research and both: discuss and test developed prototypes together with the army soldiers and officers. 

Preparation for Studies

Those interested in aviation and wishing to study for a Master's degree in Aerospace Engineering must be familiar with the basics of aerodynamics, aircraft construction mechanics and aircraft engine design. We offer an online course of lectures from some of the best technical universities in the world (MIT, TU Delft) on these special program subjects. You will receive the most up-to-date information that will be relevant to your master's degree. We suggest completing the modules before starting the master's degree.
Aerodynamics: TU Delft courses (free (official certificate 50 USD), 7 weeks); MIT courses (free (official certificate 100 USD), 15 weeks); 
Aircraft Mechanics: TU Delft Course (Free (Official Certificate $ 50), 8 Weeks) 

What abilities will you develop?

Aerospace Engineering Master’s degree study program is aimed at developing the following skills: 
  • Understanding of principles of aeronautical engineering; 
  • Planning and conducting analytical, modelling and experimental research, critical evaluation of the obtained data and result application in manufacturing of the prototype;  
  • The ability to apply new research methods for aeronautical engineering problem investigation; 
  • The ability to resolve Non-standard, vaguely described problems, identify and define standard and non-standard aeronautical engineering problems and therefore apply novel methods for specific problem solution and decision implementation;  
  • Innovative facilitation of novel and original ideas in the field of aeronautical engineering as well as methods applied to provide engineering solutions in multi-faced, technically undefined and not precisely described problems;
  • Unified understanding the effects of aeronautical engineering on general public and the environment; 
  • Project management, team work, commercialisation and business aspects of the start-ups;  
  • Understanding how the technological solutions are linked to economic consequences.  

Exchange Period Abroad?

The aviation industry is unquestionably international, and international experience – is important for every specialist aspiring to work in it. VILNIUS TECH Aviation Institute's students and lecturers can participate in various international cooperation and exchange programmes, providing the possibility for VILNIUS TECH Aviation Institute's students to gain international experience in foreign higher education institutions,  preparing aviation specialists. Acquaintance with the aviation sector abroad,  experience of working in a multicultural team  and active use of professional English – are only a few advantages of mobility for studies or practice.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR EXPERIENCE

You will have plenty of opportunities to apply and diversity your skills through graduate projects, internships, career programmes, clubs and societies.
  • Studies and internship abroad
  • Career Services
  • Linkmenų factory
  • Sport and Art Centre

What about career opportunities after Master's degree studies?

  • Establish the start-up on the basis of the prototype; 
  • Obtain employment in the fields of aeronautical and aerospace industries; 
  • Obtain employment in defence and public security institutions, energy, agriculture, transportation, logistics and other institutions where you will foster drone-based innovation; 
  • Design satellites, aircraft and their systems; 
  • Seek academic career; 
  • Continue your studies on a third - doctoral study cycle. 

Student Projects at AGAI

Students at AGAI are encouraged to get involved in various practical projects. Currently, they are participating in workshops with lecturers  to revive some of our old aircraft for new life to be used for study and training purposes as models and educational material.

See our progress here. 

Another great example of a multidisciplinary project completed in joint efforts with lecturers and students at AGAI is a smart UAV for aerial mapping and video monitoring. It joins knowledge and skills of aerodynamics, electronics and aircraft operations to make sure that the UAV does exactly what it is designed to do. 

See our results here.

To mark a 100 year anniversary, the Antanas Gustaitis Aviation Institute of Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH AGAI) flew their unmanned aircraft over Lithuania and covered a distance of 397 km.
The purpose of the flight over Lithuania was to test the system of the new VILNIUS TECH AGAI unmanned aircraft, to test the communication and communication systems under real conditions and to gain experience in the operation of unmanned aircraft for long distances.
