Academic requirements for admission to master's degrees
Specific requirements

Direct admission

The entrance qualifications that provide direct admission, without the requirement to take any bridging courses, are as follows:

Bachelor’s degrees:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
  • Bachelor’s degree in Energy Engineering
  • Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Vehicle Engineering
  • Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Technology Engineering
  • Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Technology Engineering


Pre-EHEA degrees:

  • Diploma in Mechanical Engineering
  • Degree in Industrial Engineering
  • Degree in Aeronautical Engineering
  • Diploma in Aeronautical Engineering


In the case of students who have not completed a bachelor’s or pre-EHEA degree in mechanical or thermal engineering, the academic committee of the master’s degree will review each applicant’s academic record to determine whether any bridging courses are required.

Bridging courses

In the case of qualifications other than those that provide direct admission, the academic committee of the master’s degree will review each applicant’s academic record to determine what bridging courses, if any, must be taken if the student is admitted.

Any bridging courses to be completed will be in the field of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics or heat transfer (max. 18 ECTS credits).

Students must take any bridging courses required in the first semester of their master’s degree. Bridging courses will be bachelor’s degree subjects but will be treated as master’s degree credits for economic purposes. In no case will they form part of the curriculum as optional credits.
