Madrid, September 19th, 2024
The Polytechnic University of Madrid (UPM) launches a new editon for the Master in Unmanned Aerial Systems (MaSAnT), developed at the School of Aeronautical and Space Engineering (ETSIAE) for the academic year 2024-2025. This is the third edition of this postgraduate course that once again counts on the participation of SENASA as a collaborating entity along with other civil and military entities that are benchmarks in the aeronautical sector.
The aim of this master's degree is to provide a solid, up-to-date training in the area of UAS for professionals interested in the drone sector, whose implementation in many industries is becoming widespread due to its high capacity for transformation and improvement of processes and results. The MaSAnT is aimed at people with or without specific qualifications in Aeronautical Engineering and UAS operators' staff, interested in advanced complementary training in drones, their regulatory development and technological foundations.
The new edition of MaSAnT, which will begin in October, has been restructured with two new features. Firstly, it offers a hybrid programme (one third face-to-face and two thirds online), which is more flexible and adapted to the needs of the students, without losing the quality of the training. Secondly, the master's degree can be taken as a complete course or one or more specific training modules can be taken independently. The modules that make up the Syllabus are: UAS Regulations, UAS Operations, UAS Technologies and Dual Applications, and UAS Systems and Integration.
A total of 30 places are available and the pre-registration period will be open until October 2nd. All information on enrolment, pre-enrolment and deadlines can be found here.
MaSAnT has the support of all the actors involved in the UAS field on the national scene, which reinforces the recognition of this qualification in the labour market. Of special relevance is the involvement of the Spanish Air and Space Army, which coordinates all the contents on military UAS, which affect the modules of regulations, safety, operations and applications. Together with the Spanish Air and Space Army, various collaborating entities are taking part, such as SENASA, including Aena, AESA, Airbus, ENAIRE, GMV, Indra, Ineco, INTA, ISDEFE, Tecnobit-grupo Oesía and Teyde.
